Academics

Interdisciplinary Studies

 

An Interdisciplinary Studies major allows a student to meet his or her career goals or plans for graduate school or seminary by selecting two complementary "fields" of study.  These two Fields together provide a unique, integrated background to learning.

When the Interdisciplinary Studies major has been completed, a student will: 

  • present employers with a unique, integrated, interdisciplinary basis for career development;
  • have developed a sound basis for graduate or seminary study, in courses tailored to their interests;
  • naturally develop a leadership style based in multiple disciplines;
  • meet the academic standards for an Army or Air Force ROTC commission, if desired;
  • have the option of combining ministry, through a Field such as Intercultural or Pastoral Studies, with a "tent-making" career track such as Deaf Culture Studies or Communications.
