This agile, flexible degree is designed to prepare you for a complex career, not a singular job. Whether you have a passion for more than one subject or just want to blend previous credits in a new custom way, IS allows you to tailor your own program around any two existing academic areas offered at DelVal. Could this be the ideal answer for you?
Do you love horses and photography? Do you love science but also writing? Consider combining biology and media or animal science and business. Want to pursue a career in criminal justice with a focus on wildlife? Combine criminal justice and conservation and wildlife management on your way to becoming a game warden. You’ll get multiple perspectives on issues and ideas, and open yourself up to multiple career and graduate school opportunities. This major will also allow you to gain essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for all career paths.
As an IS student, you’ll follow your own academic and career goals by designing a program tailored to your specific interests. You may integrate your I.S. major around any two academic areas already offered at DelVal.
The interdisciplinary studies degree may be just the option you need to pursue your bachelor’s degree from the ground up or as a way to complete a degree already begun. It allows you to pursue your passion and gain the skills and knowledge needed to go in flexible directions.
The Interdisciplinary Studies major allowed me to combine my passions for animals and media into a complete program while also effectively using my transfer credits.
Looking for a degree that is as unique as you are? Do you have specific career goals that don’t align with the one-size-fits-all options in a college catalog? Then you need to check out interdisciplinary studies.
