Master of Arts: Interdisciplinary Studies

Interdisciplinary Studies is a 33 credit hour Master of Arts program of study with a diverse mix of courses, from methodological seminars to thematic courses, independent studies to internships.   The 9 credit hours of foundational courses lead to a self-designed curriculum focused on a particular theme, problem, or mode of inquiry.

Students will construct an innovative curriculum that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries, often to answer a specific question or to address a theme of interest to the student. Graduates will gain an in-depth understanding of graduate-level research and current trends in interdisciplinary scholarship, as well as preparation for advancement in their chosen career field.
