How does a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies compare with a more traditional degree?
The value of an Interdisciplinary Studies degree depends upon what you choose to put into it. For example, a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Business Issues is not the same as a BS in Business Administration. If your prospective employer is only considering applicants with a BS in Business Administration, then you probably will not get the position. However, if the position is described in detail and you have taken courses that give you expertise, then apply and list your degree as a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Concentration in Business Issues. Be sure to include in your letter how your courses will be of value to the employer.
