Interdisciplinary Studies
The College of Arts and Sciences has created this major for motivated students who are interested in pursuing a major that is not housed in a single department or defined by a traditional discipline. The Interdisciplinary Major allows a student and a willing faculty advisor to construct a major that gathers appropriate courses around a significant theme or research question.
The important parameters of the major include
Half of the proposed major must be courses from a single academic discipline as listed in the undergraduate bulleting under which you matriculated.
The major may have courses from no more than four academic disciplines.
Half the credit hours of the major must be at the 3000 or 4000 level.
The major must include a three-hour senior capstone project as an Independent Study course or a senior seminar from an academic discipline listed in your undergraduate bulletin.
Interested students should contact Professor Kurt Stadtwald, Interdisciplinary Major Director, for more information, planning materials, and an application.

Women’s and Gender Studies

This perspective assumes that race, class, ethnicity, and nation, among other factors, intersect with constructions of gender.
