Interdisciplinary Studies majors are encouraged to acquire a broad experience of world cultures; engage with the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences; and develop the objectivity of mind that will allow a critical analysis of and ethical response to the needs of our world.
Chowan University’s Department of Interdisciplinary Studies is uniquely designed to allow students the freedom to establish a specialized major that is directly devoted to a student’s individual interests and needs. These students can develop a personal concentration of studies tailor-made for those whose interests, plans, or abilities overlap multiple academic departments, in order to learn beyond the traditional boundaries of higher education that limit most other institutions.
Taking a blend of courses in English, Music, History, Religion, Art, and Philosophy along with the general education core could earn you a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in Humanities Studies.
