The Interdisciplinary Studies major is comprised of two or three components to total 36 credits. A component consists of course work from a single department or area, which may include programs outside the College of Arts and Science (e.g., Journalism, Business or Social Work). At least 18 hours must come from the College of Arts and Science. In addition to the 36 hours required in the major components, Interdisciplinary Studies students must also complete a 3-credit capstone.
Interdisciplinary Studies candidates must earn no less than a 2.0 GPA in each component. They are bound by rules and practices of the College of Arts and Science that pertain to admission to degree programs, the awarding of credit, and the awarding of degrees. Students must complete college as well as University requirements, including University general education.
