The Multidisciplinary Studies program allows a student to combine three minors to create an interdisciplinary major.
An individualized major involves two or more academic areas, at least one of which must be in the Eberly College. The major program should be planned so that the academic depth and rigor meets or exceeds that of a traditional major. Since its approval in 1972, the individualized major program has attracted a number of interesting and challenging student proposals. Representative examples include a program in religious studies including courses in both religious studies and communication studies, a psychobiology program focused on the integration of knowledge about the physiological and psychological mechanisms involved in learning, and a European culture program which combined elements from the Departments of History, Foreign Languages, and Political Science.
