Individualized Interdisciplinary Studies
Individualized IDS applicants can initiate and design an individualized interdisciplinary program of study with the help of at least two (2) tenured or tenure-accruing faculty sponsors.
Interdisciplinary majors may also graduate with honors recognition. Requirements are the same as for departmental majors, with the additional provision that magna cum laude or summa cum laude recognition must be recommended by two members of the student’s supervisory committee (including the principal supervisor), who will affirm that the student conducted an individual project in IDS 4906 (or equivalent).
If interested in this option, please review all requirements and information for students, and contact Margaret Fields with any questions. Complete the IDS Program application here.
