We don’t expect you to just create this degree all on your own. You’ll have a dedicated advisor who is ready to help you figure out courses to fit your degree.
The first step is selecting what you’d like to concentrate in. You can pick up to three concentrations in which to specialize, which you can choose from among our 70+ majors, minors, and concentrations to create your own unique combination. Then your advisor will help you select courses to keep on track and help you pursue your interests.
Throughout, you’ll enjoy the same opportunities as students in our traditional majors: summer research, community service, and hands-on learning that sets a Mount education apart!
As an Interdisciplinary Studies major, your future can be as diverse as your choice in major! Where your career will lead you will depend on your choice of concentrations, but some of our Interdisciplinary Studies majors have gone on to work in the fields of education, science, technology, marketing, media, and more.
