This program offers students a high degree of flexibility in designing a program of study that cuts across disciplinary boundaries. Applicants to the masterâ€™s program can pursue one of two approaches - either a self-styled plan or a recognized concentration. Under a self-styled plan, students design a program to address a particular intellectual interest or study a multidisciplinary issue that combines existing courses from any graduate area of the university. A recognized concentration approach involves more structure in the courses taken built around a defined interdisciplinary theme. For either approach, the degree awarded upon completion of the program is a Master of Science with a major in interdisciplinary studies. The womenâ€™s studies program allows students to explore multiple aspects of womenâ€™s experience through individually tailored degree plans. This concentration draws from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology; art history; communication studies; counseling and higher education; English; history; journalism; kinesiology, health promotion and recreation; linguistics; merchandising and hospitality management; music; philosophy; political science; psychology; radio, television and film; rehabilitation, social work and addictions; and sociology. Womenâ€™s studies courses examine womenâ€™s roles, activities and experiences through history and across cultures. Courses expand understanding of gender differences, cultural diversity and social change while strengthening critical thinking and communication skills. Students can choose thesis or non-thesis option to complete the degree. Students may choose the non-thesis option and complete at least 30 semester hours. The thesis option requires 24 semester hours plus 6 hours of thesis, for a total of 30 hours.
