Interdisciplinary Majors
The departments within LAS sponsor an interdisciplinary program of study that acquaints students with topics that cross disciplinary boundaries. Enrollment in the Interdisciplinary Major requires selection of one of the available options. Each option is supervised by faculty members whose scholarship and educational interests have involved them in interdisciplinary teaching and research. An advisor is available in each option and is responsible for approving plans of study.
All of the college's graduation requirements for the Sciences and Letters Curriculum apply.
Interdisciplinary Major Options
- American Civilization
- Cinema Studies
- Gender and Women's Studies
- Medieval Civilization
- Renaissance Studies
Degree Requirements: To graduate, students must fulfill a core set of requirements established by the college as well as the requirements specific to their major. See LAS's degree requirements as well as the campus's Programs of Study.
Interdisciplinary Minors
There are several interdisciplinary areas in which scholarly needs or employment demands require recognition. In these areas, LAS offers an interdisciplinary minor. Students interested in these minors should contact the appropriate advisor.

Students are required to consult with the advisor regarding the selection of course work.
