Interdisciplinary Programs
Interdisciplinary programs in the Thomas Harriot College of Arts & Sciences bring together two or more academic disciplines to form a course of study that is cohesive and innovative. This interconnected academic approach deepens the learner’s understanding of complex issues and fosters critical thinking skills and adaptability to promote success in any career. Faculty and students benefit by working with colleagues across disciplinary, departmental, and college lines in intellectually stimulating, rigorous, unified, and perhaps novel courses of study.
