Fresno State University offers an interdisciplinary studies major for both Master of Arts (MA) and Master of Science (MS) degrees, designed for graduate students requiring advanced education across multiple disciplines not covered by existing programs. Eligible students may submit a formal proposal (Section II) outlining a unified curriculum combining coursework and graduate experiences from two or more departments. Proposals that could fit within existing master's degree structures, such as through elective courses, will not be accepted.
The MS in Interdisciplinary Studies focuses on scientific breadth, research methodologies, and analytical skills, preparing students for science-focused careers spanning multiple specialties. Meanwhile, the MA in Interdisciplinary Studies applies to diverse fields, especially those involving arts, literature, and humanities.
