Home to six major programs, nine minors and three dual degree programs, Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) offers students boundary-crossing curricula of study that provide the skills and tools to think critically about our increasing dynamic society. Drawing on faculty from throughout the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the University, these diverse courses of study make our students innovative and uniquely prepared to address the grand challenges our nation and our world face today. Interdisciplinary Studies offers myriad major courses of study, allowing our students to engage with world cultures, garner skills in flexible thinking, and prepare to engage the professional world as informed citizens. Students are exposed to complex and diverse perspectives, building the skills and tools necessary for a successful professional career or graduate study.

Here are some of our department highlights:

• Over half of our majors graduate with honors from either a scholars program or a dual degree program
• Our students can choose from over 40 Study Abroad programs offered by the College that allow students to engage across disciplines and global competencies
• Faculty from all corners of the university are a part of the Interdisciplinary Studies program
• The Interdisciplinary Studies Council, composed of directors and coordinators within the unit, serves in an advisory role for our IDS major programs and concentrations
