What you study
The Department of Multidisciplinary Studies provides a foundation for more opportunities in employment, research, and beyond. Multidisciplinary training provides knowledge across a wider range of fields, greater flexibility in academic training, and unique opportunities to combine subjects.
The degree provides a broad education across the humanities (the human sciences), while developing critical thinking, abstract thinking, and the ability to analyze and synthesize extensive theoretical material from multiple domains and make comparisons. Institutions offer options to pursue different tracks and areas of focus, including: an Asian Studies track, which introduces students to the culture, literature, history, politics, economy, law, and more of leading Asian countries; and a World Culture track, covering literature and art, philosophy and ideas, history, languages, and more.
