A degree in interdisciplinary studies allows you to design a personalized program of study that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries, combining fields that are otherwise not offered as a single degree at Davis & Elkins 91¿ì²¥. If your interests span two or more fields, this program gives you the flexibility to pursue the education that fits your calling.
D&E’s broad offering of majors, minors, and courses spans the arts, sciences, social sciences, business, education, and professional studies. This academic foundation gives interdisciplinary studies students a rich palette of disciplines to draw from to construct a truly distinctive academic program. By establishing a strong, individually designed foundation in two or more disciplines, you can apply your knowledge to complex, real-world problems that rarely fit neatly into one field.
The program facilitates and coordinates student-initiated and faculty-sponsored programs of study that cross disciplinary lines. You’ll work closely with the interdisciplinary studies coordinator to establish and justify both the goals and the curriculum of their proposed program of study. This process develops critical thinking, self-direction, and communication skills that employers value.
