Interdisciplinary Studies – Fine Arts & Humanities
Overview
Interdisciplinary Studies allows you the versatility to customize your program of study while achieving an Associate of Arts. Often, students enroll in college with no particular major in mind; yet they do have keen areas of enthusiasm for multiple fields. Interdisciplinary Studies satisfy this desire for a degree composed of various disciplines.
After transferring the associate’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies to a four-year institution, you will receive guidance in creating a defined path of coursework that will support your specific interests and potential career opportunities. For example, you might be fascinated by both art and psychology and combine these interests to earn an advanced degree and work as an art therapist.
