Alumni Story
I wanted to have a really well-rounded education and be prepared for whatever I’d face. As a coach, I use that humanities education every single day.

The Interdisciplinary Studies degree prepares students to think critically and analytically across a wide range of disciplines or fields of study. With a flexible degree program, you choose classes that are interesting and meaningful to you. Students take the majority of their courses in an Emphasis which requires 27 units. The remaining courses are taken in 3 different Concentrations, with 9 units required in each Concentration. The Emphasis and the Concentration themes are discussed in more depth on the emphases page.
Whether it's a passion for languages, literatures and culture, a calling to serve others around the world, or a desire for a dynamic career, see why we choose Humanities.
