Interdisciplinary Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies Concentration, B.A.
|
|
The B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies offers concentrations in the following areas: Capitalism Studies, Health & Medical Humanities, and Women’s and Gender Studies. The program allows students to combine an interdisciplinary minor in one of these areas with in-depth coursework in a disciplinary department to create an individually designed major reflecting their own interests. Through a combination of interdisciplinary and disciplinary coursework, students gain a deeper understanding of these areas of study from multiple perspectives and develop competencies in oral and written communication, critical thinking, data analysis, teamwork, and leadership.
