Interdisciplinary Studies Major(IDIS) - Individual Track

 

Holloway Hall
Meet a few of our majors . . .

Kathleen Collison– Combining Art, Science and Philosophy

“My goal in college is to learn subject matter not in 1 specific field but through a combination of mixed education. Philosophy will be studied to better understand the mental aspects of the world and as contrast to that, the sciences will explore the physical world. Art, however, is my greatest means of expression.  With my IDIS major, I will be able to combine and explore all of these passions.”
 


 

Ben Nye – Combining History, Physical Education, English

“I’d like to graduate from Salisbury University with a broad liberal arts education. Being an Interdisciplinary Studies major would be the perfect way to accomplish that. Being able to study English, Physical Education, and History would help me become what I aspire to be in life; a teacher and a coach. After Salisbury University I plan to coach youth sports, attend graduate school at either Georgetown or John Hopkins to further my studies in Interdisciplinary Studies, become an instructor at a community college, and hopefully seek a doctorate degree someday. So, earning a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies would be the first step in helping me get to where I want to be in life."


 

Charles Davis – Combining Psychology, Social Work and Sociology

“I want to combine SOWK/PSYC/SOCI in order to gain the educational background necessary for me to graduate and open my own outreach center. My goal is to specifically work with people who need assistance in addictions, therapy and other general counseling needs.”

  


 

Jason Capobianco – Combining English, Health, Exercise Science

“I want to combine my passion in physical fitness and film and satisfy my quench for creative writing. Possible career interests would include exercise videos. I feel these disciplines will prepare me in my career for working and communicating with people and working in a fitness realm.”

 


 
Rebecca Conway – Combining English, Philosophy, Environmental Issues

“I want to combine PHIL/ENGL/ENVA because I have always had a passion for PHIL and ENGL and nature. I want to help the environment and combine my interests in critical thinking and have the opportunity to work in a field that helps the environment and/or helps others in teaching ENGL skills.  I feel this Interdisciplinary Studies degree will allow me to explore all of these passions and provide me with experiences and knowledge to pursue my wide array of interests upon graduation."
