Self Design - Interdisciplinary Studies

The interdisciplinary studies major at La Roche University allows highly motivated students to design a major geared toward their specific academic objectives and unique career goals.

The Interdisciplinary Studies major does not involve a pre-determined set of courses like most majors, but instead consists of a unique combination of courses based upon the student’s specific interests. Students who seek an Interdisciplinary Studies major typically combine courses from two to three disciplines.

Requirements

The Interdisciplinary Studies major is open to any student who meets the following criteria:

• Students must have completed at least 30 credits, including transfer credits, CLEP and Credit for Life Experience
• A minimum GPA of at least 2.0 for currently enrolled students or for previous college work completed by newly admitted transfer students.

You must select a minimum of two and a maximum of three disciplines.

The curriculum will include a capstone experience demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of the self-designed major and provide an opportunity for experiential learning.

The program plan must include courses at the 3000 and 4000 level.

The degree awarded can be a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree, depending on the disciplines selected.  

Please note: This major is not available to freshmen.
