Multidisciplinary Studies is designed to integrate a student’s academic interest and skills. Students learn to be integrative thinkers who can see connections in seemingly disparate information, draw on a wide range of knowledge and skills to make decisions, and to communicate effectively with diverse audiences for a variety of purposes and in a variety of settings.
This program is perfect for returning students and active military/veterans who are looking to complete a higher level degree to obtain positions that require a minimum of a bachelor's degree.
