Interdisciplinary Studies
Program Director
Lawrence Breitborde, Dean of the College and Professor of Anthropology
A number of interdisciplinary studies courses are offered occasionally as electives. Each interdisciplinary studies course focuses on a particular issue involving the perspectives of two or more disciplines and students are encouraged to apply their own developing interests or disciplinary perspectives to their work in the course. These courses emphasize fundamental human issues, but invite students to draw on their learning and to work with fellow students in a focused analysis of specific issues and problems.
