The Interdisciplinary Studies major at Alliance University is a liberal arts oriented, nontraditional program designed for students who wish to integrate two academic disciplines. It is especially for those students who have clearly articulated personal, graduate school, or career goals that cannot be fully met by existing major programs.

Why Pursue Interdisciplinary Studies at Alliance University?

If you are an independent, inquisitive, and open-minded critical thinker who is interested in exploring questions that cannot be answered within a single discipline, then you should consider the Interdisciplinary Studies major.

(Please note: The education degrees do not lead to teacher licensure. However, graduates may pursue alternative routes to certification in teaching.
