Overview

Key Features

Integrative Studies at Northern Kentucky University is required when one moves beyond disciplinary boundaries and attempts to use knowledge from different specialties to answer a big question or tackle a complex problem. In interdisciplinary work specialists address problems or topics that sit between or overlap the disciplinary perspectives.
