What Is An Interdisciplinary Studies Degree?
Critical-thinking ability. Powers of analysis and problem solving. Adeptness at oral and written communication. Working well within a team. These are the skills that never lose their relevance and are always in demand. The forever skills.
With our B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies, you will make these skills your own. You’ll pull together a number of different disciplines — in the humanities, sciences, and arts — to take on complex problems, exercising your growing powers of analysis and critical thinking ability to create workable solutions, which you will subsequently present with clarity and precision. There isn’t a career field in existence that doesn’t require — and place enormous value on — this skill set.
The Most Individualized Major There Is
This major is all about you — your specific interests, personal strengths, and career goals and even the high probability that you will change careers once, twice, or more in your lifetime. With that personal profile in mind, you will create your own major by combining minors in different disciplines, thereby expanding your breadth of knowledge without sacrificing depth of knowledge.
Working in collaboration with your academic advisor, you will construct a coherent, interdisciplinary program of study that will meet both short-term career goals and lifelong potentials.

The High-Impact Learning Experiences That Put Ideas into Action
Your first high-impact learning experience? Planning and curating your program of study with your advisor. This process in itself requires you to apply your analytical powers to determine which subjects studied now will be the investment that reaps career rewards in the near, and distant, future.
Then, depending on your program of study and career aspirations, you may:
In your senior year, you will take a mandatory capstone course. Working closely with your advisor, you will propose, plan, and execute a project, exiting the course with a valuable artifact — a digital, physical, community-based, or entrepreneurial product of our own creation.
Think of the Possible Career Fields
What career fields need people trained in analyzing complex issues that involve the interweaving of disparate disciplines? Too many to count, but for starters think of:
Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.
It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.
A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):
