Overview

You’ll pull together a number of different disciplines — in the humanities, sciences, and arts — to take on complex problems, exercising your growing powers of analysis and critical thinking ability to create workable solutions, which you will subsequently present with clarity and precision. There isn’t a career field in existence that doesn’t require — and place enormous value on — this skill set.

The Most Individualized Major There Is

This B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies from University of New Haven is all about you — your specific interests, personal strengths, and career goals and even the high probability that you will change careers once, twice, or more in your lifetime. With that personal profile in mind, you will create your own major by combining minors in different disciplines, thereby expanding your breadth of knowledge without sacrificing depth of knowledge.

Working in collaboration with your academic advisor, you will construct a coherent, interdisciplinary program of study that will meet both short-term career goals and lifelong potentials.

Career

What career fields need people trained in analyzing complex issues that involve the interweaving of disparate disciplines? Too many to count, but for starters think of:

Sustainability
Climate Change
Information Literacy
Artificial Intelligence
Public Relations
Arts Administration
Community Engagement

Employers in these fields are clamoring for people with the skills you will acquire in this program — not only in critical thinking, analysis, and communication, but also in the capacity to be an adaptive self-learner and a flexible thinker.
