Introduction

Through this interdisciplinary program, in consultation with faculty advisors, students select eighteen credits of coursework, with no more than six credits in any one of twelve participating programs. This flexibility allows you to tailor the program to your particular needs and interests, while enabling you to work with accomplished faculty in a range of disciplines.
