The Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences (IAS) Program integrates these and many other disciplines together in ways that open doors you didn't know existed. Explore your area of study by tackling real-world issues. The result is an education that serves you better than a narrowly-focused major.
IAS is one large, cohesive organization, rather than a conglomeration of several academic departments that each offer a narrowly focused major. This open organization allows professors to offer courses that make connections, for example, between history, economics, physics, psychology and the teaching of English. Majors and concentrations provide the focus, as well as the flexibility, to study what you want while providing an education that prepares you to think critically, solve problems, write and speak effectively—the skills employers look for most. This educational approach is excellent preparation for the fast-changing, complex, interconnected world in which we live and work.
