IDS 310 - Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar

Required for all Interdisciplinary Majors. Students will plan an academic course of action to match their professional and personal goals. Through class dialogue, out of class reading and writing assignments, use of on-line research materials, and experiential learning activities students will explore the nature of an interdisciplinary, self-designed major. They will: 1) learn to integrate prior learning as part of their interdisciplinary major; 2) explore the scholarly thesis process, 3) develop their degree plan of action and 4) examine ways of receiving experiential credit. Students will also gain a deepened appreciation for critical reflection and thinking, a sense of fair-mindedness that is grounded in academic integrity, and a value for intellectual humility. Prerequisite(s): Transfer credit with permission of instructor.
