In Interdisciplinary Studies, you can create a customized academic path by selecting courses from two of four main areas: Creative and Performing Arts, Humanities, Physical and Life Sciences, and Social Sciences, tailored to your personal educational and professional aspirations.
This program is ideal for self-directed learners with diverse interests, allowing you to explore beyond traditional academic boundaries by combining studies from two categories: Humanities, Sciences, Social Sciences, or Creative and Performing Arts. It provides an interdisciplinary Major equivalent as an alternative to conventional department-specific Majors.
