Interdisciplinary Studies
Online
The online Interdisciplinary Studies program allows students to create plans of study that fit their interests and experience. Unlike traditional majors that focus on one field of study, students in this program select three areas of interest to pursue and diversify their academic experience. This allows students to integrate multiple interests into their degree and utilize credits from previous institutions in a unique and self-designed major.
Credits 39-45* | Cost/Credit $495 | Completion 18-36 Months (4-9 Semesters) | Format Online | Starts Per Year Six
