About The Program

The Online Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies allows students to study multiple disciplines and select more than one field based on the student’s personal or professional goals. This graduate program will provide an intensive study of theory and practice in the fields of the student’s selected concentrations. It will foster independent learning and enable students to contribute intellectually to their chosen concentrations. Students will work closely with faculty members to foster advanced learning, critical thinking, and utilizing applied research methods.

The Online Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies program provides a practical alternative for master’s degree-seeking students whose needs cannot be met by individual majors. Students will combine multiple disciplines to enhance career advancement opportunities based on individual needs.

Students will select two concentrations or a combination of courses (up to 12 credits) each from their desired concentration, totaling eight courses (or 24 credits). Students will complete two capstone courses (6 credits), an action research project based on the student’s personal or professional goals. The master’s program in total is 30 credits. The chosen concentration elective courses will vary based on the student’s goals and approval by the Dean of Academic Affairs.
