Interdisciplinary Studies

Interdisciplinary studies is a different approach to the traditional major; it’s a meaningful solution for students desiring a broader, more encompassing field of study.

Coker’s interdisciplinary studies program helps students mix their passions and 人才 to create customized fields of study. Majoring in a subject typically involves the intense study of a single discipline—but interdisciplinary studies majors work across disciplines, seeing how things connect and bringing them together.

Interdisciplinarians bring different skills and backgrounds to the table, helping to forge connections and problem-solve. 在现代工作场所, where there is more and more integration between fields, interdisciplinarians have a marketable advantage.

Interdisciplinary studies majors will learn specific skills, including making connections, solving complex problems, 领导, 战略思考, 沟通, 分析思考, 和协作.

Interdisciplinary studies is an ideal academic opportunity for students who are interested in pursuing a career beyond the confines of a conventional major. Rather than following a more structured, traditional educational pathway, interdisciplinary studies majors work with faculty advisors to develop a customized series of courses—including reSearch, 独立学习, and in-seat classes—that bests aligns with their goals, 人才, and vision for the future.

This program is also a good fit for students who have accumulated credits in several different disciplines and wish to combine these into a single capstone project (an introduction to their desired career path) to present to future employers and/or graduate schools.

All interdisciplinary studies students begin their majors with an introductory course in interdisciplinary studies, followed by a selection of lower- and upper-level courses in their chosen fields. They will also participate in an internship and complete a capstone project.
