The Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) degree program is designed for a set of diverse students who bring to the university many academic, personal, and work-related experiences. They may choose the Interdisciplinary Studies program because (1) they are aware that they are more employable in many occupations with the degree, (2) learning in the arts and sciences and in a field of specialization leads to understanding and empowerment, and (3) they review their personal plans and recognize that they can effectively meet their most important goals for a bachelor’s degree through this degree.

The IDS program serves adult students, in particular, who seek a broad, more flexible degree program to help them to advance or become more established in their careers or to improve their understanding of the world around them.
