Students can be successful in interdisciplinary studies if they are highly motivated, goal-oriented and enjoy working independently. Interdisciplinary studies students appreciate the challenge of making connections across disciplines and seek opportunities that take them outside of the traditional boundaries. 

These students are not seeking an “easy out,” nor are they attempting to corral disparate course work into a generalized degree. Rather, they have the organizational skills and vision to translate a career or personal goal into a solid academic plan.

Career Possibilities:

Liberal arts majors with strong interdisciplinary training are prepared to take on a wide variety of leadership positions that stress teamwork and visionary thinking. Each individualized degree plan endeavors to enhance career potential within the identified major.
