MA/MS in Interdisciplinary Studies

MA/MS Interdisciplinary Studies

Effective December 2009, admission to the MA/MS in Interdisciplinary Studies has been suspended by the Office of Graduate Studies while the degree is redesigned. We will provide information here once more information is available regarding when applications will again be accepted. Please note that this change does not impact students currently admitted to the IST program.

The Interdisciplinary Studies program is a 45-graduate credit program designed to provide highly motivated students the opportunity to develop, with an advising committee, an individualized, interdisciplinary program for graduate study, in which fully approved courses in the humanities, sciences, social sciences, and the professional schools are combined to create a cohesive program not otherwise available on campus. Such a program will involve a minimum of two and a maximum of three academic disciplines.

The MA/MS in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Film Studies focus may be earned through the Department of Theater Arts with secondary course work from the Departments of English and/or Communications. The Pathway for the MS-IS with a focus in Film Studies contains information on courses that may be applied to the focus.
