  • Ability to demonstrate self-directed, lifelong learning skills.
  • Ability to explore complex questions by engaging in interdisciplinary inquiry.
  • Ability to apply content learning in a professional environment.

The IDS major requires a minimum of 48 credits, including 12 credit hours taken from the IDS Core plus 36 credit hours taken in at least two integrated academic disciplines.
