The interdisciplinary studies major provides organizational expertise for use in the public and private sector. The interdisciplinary studies major is a broad, flexible program whose breadth ensures coverage of several behavioral and social science disciplines. The major is designed to meet the needs of students whose interests and career goals go beyond the boundaries of a single discipline. Interdisciplinary studies is a major where critical thinking and the ability to identify and interrelate meaning among a variety of broad areas and disciplines are connected to practical workplace settings and issues.
Students are independent and self-directed adults with clear educational and career goals.
There are two tracks within the interdisciplinary studies major. At the time of this printing, a third track in women's studies is undergoing approval. This track will be coordinated with the UW System Women's Studies Consortium's collaborative course offerings. Call Rick Taylor at 595-2090 for information. The distinguishing feature of the first track is the independently designed theme.
