What is an interdisciplinary program ?
An interdisciplinary program is one that requires students to work in more than one traditional discipline (e.g., someone interested in conservation policy might focus on ecology and policy). The purpose is to ensure that students will be able to work on environmental issues where it is necessary to interact with experts from other fields. The School’s courses examine issues from a variety of disciplinary perspectives to expose students to the concerns, research tools, and language used by different disciplines.
Interdisciplinary Programs provide opportunities for you to extend your learning beyond your major, allowing you to explore a number of different subjects related to a particular theme. You may choose to pursue an Interdisciplinary minor or option as part of your degree. For more information and to see if a particular program is available to you contact your academic advisor.
