Interdisciplinary Studies in
Three Departments (IS3D)

                

The Bachelors of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Three Departments (IS3D) is a unique degree that allows students to design their own coursework consisting of classes from three different disciples. Over 50 disciplines are part of our program, so students have an extraordinary number of classes to choose from! We believe that having an interdisciplinary background helps our students become creative thinkers who are prepared for the careers of today and the challenges of tomorrow. Integrative thinking is important to addressing all sorts of problems. 

When they enter the major, students create their own distinct “Custom Plan” consisting of coursework from three discipline areas. Plus, students take a three course “integrative sequence” of courses offered by the Interdisciplinary Studies program.
