Overview

Key Features

At Emerson College, students can combine virtually any major with any minor to expand upon their course of study—but for those wishing to pursue an even more specific academic path, there is another option as well.: the Interdisciplinary Studies program.

Interdisciplinary Studies majors have ample opportunity to gain real-world learning experience. Here are a few examples:

Students complete a senior capstone project that is centered on a coherent idea or solution to a problem that sparks their interest and that integrates learning across their chosen disciplines.
Students have the opportunity to work on major projects to add to their portfolios, such as producing and writing their own films and musicals.
As participants in the E3 Expo, students have the opportunity to pitch new business ventures for monetary awards.
Faculty hire students as research assistants to help them with projects focused on history, anthropology, math, and more.

Careers

Interdisciplinary Studies graduates pursue careers in a variety of communication- and arts-related fields. Examples of careers include:

Data Analyst
Entrepreneur
Marketing Designer
Public Relations Specialist

Building on Emerson’s strong foundation in the liberal arts, the IDS Major provides the support students need to carve their own interdisciplinary paths and to design and name their own unique program of study in close collaboration with faculty across the College. It emphasizes the values of self-directed learning, project-based inquiry, and creative and critical thinking desired by students and employers alike.
