Overview

Key features

Since the concentrations in this interdisciplinary program can come from any field (as long as at least one of them is a traditional liberal arts discipline from the School of Arts and Sciences), it’s not an exaggeration to say that this major can prepare you for any type of graduate study and any career.

Students who complete the B. A. in Interdisciplinary Studies at Western Connecticut State University will be able to:

Defend the combination of concentrations that they chose for their major as a productive alliance. Students will be able to argue convincingly that the two concentrations that they chose can be used together in a complementary way to produce a more complete understanding of complex ideas and problems.

Create and present a senior capstone project that successfully integrates the methods and perspectives of their two concentrations in a creative, thoughtful and educational way.

Demonstrate an understanding of the strengths of interdisciplinary studies in general, beyond the two specific concentrations that they chose for their program. This entails being able to explain the essential characteristics of a question that is by nature interdisciplinary, and also being able to give examples from history of problems that were successfully solved using an interdisciplinary approach.

Demonstrate an understanding of the limitations of interdisciplinary studies. This entails being able to explain the essential characteristics of a question that is by nature not interdisciplinary, and also being able to give examples from history of problems for which an interdisciplinary approach would have been a mistake.
Demonstrate skills of insightful interpretation, logical analysis, articulate communication in speech and writing, openness to new ideas, and the ability to adapt creatively to change—all of which are essential for success in any profession.
