Interdisciplinary studies is a flexible degree program that allows students to develop an individual course of study by combining classes from two academic disciplines. Each interdisciplinary studies major works closely with faculty members to create a customized program that transcends traditional majors offered at the University.
Students may investigate a course of study that requires an interdisciplinary approach to a theme such as a set of problems, an idea, or a period of study. Some suggested interdisciplinary themes include aesthetics and artistic expression, international / global studies, administration and policy, and American studies. Each semester, students meet with the program coordinator to assess their academic progress and review volunteer projects, internships, and other career-development activities.
The B. S. to M. S. option is available for students who wish to earn a master’ s degree in one of Stevenson’ s graduate programs.
