Introduction
The Multidisciplinary Studies major curriculum will focus on upper division level courses, designed to integrate a student’s academic interest and skills.
Why Consider a Multidisciplinary Studies Major?
Western’s Multidisciplinary Studies major provides a solid liberal arts education to prepare students for rapidly changing career opportunities in many different fields. It is designed for students whose interests cannot be served by Western’s established majors, and who want to focus their major studies across courses and departments to better meet their career goals or preparation for advanced levels of education.
