Interdisciplinary Studies Degree
Make connections across fields of study and connect what you learn to your academic, professional, and civic life.
The Interdisciplinary Studies program is a way for you to custom-design your own degree by combining two different disciplines from two distinct schools or departments. It is the combination of two minor degrees of study; one that is listed in the catalog and another one either listed in the catalog or a Personal Body of Knowledge constructed by you out of a set of courses.

Program Highlights
Design your own degree
As an Interdisciplinary Studies major, you’ll engage in integrative and interdisciplinary thinking. You’ll consider problems from several different perspectives, examining each subject in its own context as well as its relationship to the issues, questions, and positions of the other discipline(s) you study.
Interdisciplinary Studies students take Park University’s Liberal Education core while specializing in their minor courses of study. In your final year, you’ll complete an advanced interdisciplinary research project or other senior project.
