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 Arts or Master of Science with a major in interdisciplinary studies. The humanities concentration in the interdisciplinary studies masterâ€™s program allows students to explore and integrate humanities disciplines through individually tailored degree plans. Unlike the self-styled approach, students are not restricted to three academic disciplines or areas of the university. The component academic fields from which students draw could include, primarily, the following: anthropology; communications; creative writing; English; dance; history; journalism; linguistics; music; philosophy and religion; radio/television/film; sociology; theatre; visual arts; and world languages, literatures and cultures. Students will formulate a degree plan that reflects their academic and career goals.
