Shouldn’t your education be as unique as you are? Interdisciplinary studies is a degree program built around you and your life plan. You may find that a single traditional major doesn’t quite fit the prerequisite coursework for graduate study or for your career plans, but you don’t want to take the extra hours required for a double major or a minor. The interdisciplinary studies major offers you the flexibility to prepare for your life beyond the undergraduate classroom.
