Students wishing to major in
Interdisciplinary Studies (IDIS) using two or three traditional disciplines should contact the
IDIS
Coordinator, who will coordinate the
development of the student’s proposed program of study. The
student will also meet with designated representatives of their
chosen areas of study to discuss and develop a selection of
courses that best fits the goals of the student. The student
must follow these guidelines in order to complete an approved
program:
- Students must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours in
300/400-level courses from an approved program with grades
of C or better.
- A minimum of 15 hours of upper-division work with C or
better grades must be completed at Salisbury University.
- Students select from 2-3 subject areas
from traditional university disciplines. An example of a
program would be combining courses from biology and
psychology for a student interested in neuroscience.
- The program proposal must include a
rationale for the cohesion of the areas of study and
describe any potential career goals suitable for the program
proposal. Program proposals should list any lower-division
prerequisites to the courses chosen for the
interdisciplinary studies major. Program proposals must be
approved by designated representatives from the chosen
subject areas before final approval is given by the
coordinator of interdisciplinary studies.
- Upper-division courses (300/400 level)
completed prior to receiving program approval may or may not
be used for the interdisciplinary studies major, and no more
than 18 such hours may be credited toward the major.
- No more than two of the courses used
to meet the interdisciplinary studies major may be used to
meet minor or other major requirements.
- Any deviation of
programs must be approved in writing by both the
representative of the subject area and the major coordinator
of interdisciplinary studies.
