Interdisciplinary Studies

The Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS) degree program is designed to permit students to formulate programs that integrate work from three separate disciplines. Breadth of study is important in designing the program. A research paper or thesis offers the opportunity to integrate the three disciplines.

Any graduate major or minor may serve as a discipline or field for this degree. Two of the three fields may be from one department if the areas of concentration within these two fields are different. Program participation varies from year to year.
