IDIS 1004 - Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar

1 cr. 1 hr. Offered twice per academic year. Also offered evenings.

This course is an introductory seminar that will focus on and discuss interdisciplinary studies, thinking, and habits of mind. Students will be introduced to the interdisciplinary studies process and its comprehensive way of answering complex questions, solving complex problems, and understanding complex issues. An interdisciplinary way of thinking integrates disciplinary insights and theories, and transcends disciplinary boundaries. Such collaboration develops interdisciplinary habits of the mind and results in new solutions to questions that may be difficult to solve from a single disciplinary approach.
