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 .
