The Program
The student-designed interdisciplinary studies
major provides structure for the formal
study of an interdisciplinary theme encompassing
three academic disciplines. This is
intended to be an exceptional major with a
high degree of academic rigor.
Participants create their own interdisciplinary
majors in consultation with several advisors.
Programs should explore intellectual or
conceptual relationships between traditional
areas of study.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR
The interdisciplinary major consists of
approved course work in three academic
disciplines, planned according to the following
instructions:
• Prior to acceptance into this major, students
must be in good academic standing
and must write an essay justifying and
explaining the major. Once a student has
a draft of the essay, she/he should meet
with the interdisciplinary studies major
coordinator.
• Both the program coordinator and the
advisors of the disciplines chosen must
approve a minimum of 48 units.
• Distribute 45 of these 48 units over
three distinct areas or disciplines. (Include
at least 33 upper division units
within the 45.)
• Each of the three areas requires a minimum
of 12 units, including at least six
upper division units.
• At the time the major contract is signed
by the coordinator and the advisors, only
18 previously completed units, and only
six units in progress, may be included.
Thus, at least 30 semester units must
remain to be completed within the major.
• No more than nine of the previously
completed units may come from any one
area.
• Students may not double count general
education and major requirements.
• Complete all classes in the major with a
grade of C or better except those that
are mandatory credit/no credit.
• Senior Project: Complete SP 401 Final
Interdisciplinary Project, a three-unit
course requiring a project, thesis, or
culminating experience demonstrating
the integration of the disciplines in the
major OR 3 units Directed Study (1 unit
from each area advisor). The coordinator
may approve substitution of directed
study units for SP 401. Evaluation and
grading of the course work will be done
by the student’s advisors.
