General Studies: Interdisciplinary Studies
The courses that fulfill the Interdisciplinary Studies area of emphasis stem from the liberal arts/studies perspective by providing a breadth of knowledge and examining a diverse array of academic disciplines. The coursework is designed to enable students to: explore how knowledge across multiple disciplines is interrelated; think critically and creatively; write and speak clearly, coherently, and thoughtfully; read, understand, and evaluate all forms of text; evaluate the positive value and essential role of diversity, and formulate their own goals for continued learning and inquiry based on a foundation of intellectual curiosity. The program aligns well with and provides future elementary
