Interdisciplinary Programs

Interdisciplinary Curricula

A number of interdisciplinary academic programs, majors, minors and certificates are housed in the College of Arts and Sciences or affiliated with the College. All represent collaborative efforts to provide coursework that crosses disciplines and addresses interconnections between multiple fields. Inquiries about the interdisciplinary majors, minors, and certificates included in this section may be directed to the identified advisor(s)/academic unit or to the College of Arts and Sciences. Interdisciplinary academic programs in the College of Arts and Sciences are listed alphabetically with Arts and Sciences departments.

The interdisciplinary curriculum is delivered in a variety of ways. Often, faculty contribute disciplinary courses to interdisciplinary major, minor or certificate requirements and electives. Disciplinary courses may be cross-listed with an interdisciplinary prefix to highlight the contributions of the various fields. In other instances, faculty teach interdisciplinary courses exclusively or partially for the interdisciplinary program. Those with partial assignments in the interdisciplinary program also teach disciplinary program also teach disciplinary courses for a "home" department.
