Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies
Interdisciplinary Studies allow the student to learn by making connections between ideas and concepts across the curriculum to create majors that do not fit within the bounds of traditional college disciplines.
Program Objectives
The objectives of the Interdisciplinary Studies degree program are wide-reaching. The intent is to broaden the intellectual capacity and critical thinking skills of the student. By studying two or three disciplines and developing creative new concepts, students are encouraged to problem solve and make important contributions to human understanding. The program’s goals are outlined below:
- Solve problems in professional settings with creativity and mental discipline through the study and integration of ideas from multiple disciplines.
- Apply critical thinking skills to any situation, across multiple disciplines, through experiment, research, and investigation.
- Appreciate beliefs, cultures, and perspectives other than the student’s own, as expressed by individuals or groups.
- Communicate appropriately in professional, cultural, and social contexts through multiple means of expression.
Faulkner offers Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) degree paths to both traditional students and to adult students.
