Description
Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) offer students the opportunity to study a variety of subject matter and current issues. Courses aim to encourage students to think critically from an interdisciplinary perspective. IDS courses bring together faculty from different subject areas to guide students through investigations of current issues using methodologies from various disciplines.
IDS courses may:
- Provide transferable credits
- Satisfy Social Science General Education degree requirements
- Include a student-led research project
- Use seminars centered around case studies
Currently Interdisciplinary Studies courses support other degree programs. They do not lead to any degree on their own.
