What is Interdisciplinary Studies?

The Interdisciplinary Studies program prepares students for diverse careers, ranging from sustainability consulting, data analysis, social entrepreneurship, as well as the next step in academia, should they aspire to further pursue additional degree paths. Ideal for students seeking an engaging and future-focused education, Interdisciplinary Studies offers a way to make learning both meaningful and malleable to today’s complex world.
