Overview

The Interdisciplinary Studies, B.A. program of University of Richmond isn't for everyone. Plenty of Richmond students create interdisciplinary experiences by double majoring or choosing a minor in a complementary, or even seemingly contradictory field. When deciding on a double major, some students can envision exactly how the two subjects will eventually intertwine and lead them towards a career path.

Interdisciplinary Students

Other students don't think the two subjects will ever come together but they appreciate the skills and talents that each discipline asks of them. Students who major in interdisciplinary studies all have one thing in common.

They are interested in many fields of study. Interdisciplinary studies majors often say that they considered a major in (fill in the blank) but realized that while they were completely fascinated by half the course requirements, they were uninterested in the other half.

Adding a second major or a minor doesn't seem as practical as developing one field of study that meets their varied interests and needs.

Students have designed ambitious programs that combine fields like English and history, art history and music, psychology and anthropology or history and science. The opportunities are limited only by your imagination.
