The program integrates the sociology of knowledge, philosophy, social and political theory, history, cultural studies, anthropology and systems theory to shed light on domains of public action. Our concept of interdisciplinary studies is founded on a recognition that our experience of phenomena--such as the public problems of poverty, violence, social justice or environmental degradation--do not come in neatly bounded, disciplinary or professional packages. While disciplinary divisions of labor are convenient and necessary to the efficient pursuit of in-depth knowledge, the application of that knowledge in the sphere of public action requires a broader re-integration with the rich, multidisciplinary dimensions and complexities of actual situations.
The Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies is especially appropriate for students with an interest in public action, public service and/or public policy. Here, public action is generously understood. An appreciation of the public nature of writing, speech, knowledge production, policy formation and decision making opens the door to a wide array of possible pursuits through which students can develop the specific knowledge and skills needed to make a positive contribution in the world within their chosen areas of interest.
The structure of the Master of Arts program is highly flexible, building on the wealth of interdisciplinary expertise among the faculty. A required series of four core courses and a capstone course addresses issues of models, problem formation, evidence and values. The core courses examine the basic foundations of knowing and acting, making them relevant to diverse areas of specific inquiry. Through electives and a thesis (or master's project), students are encouraged to apply the lessons of the core courses to their own chosen areas of interdisciplinary interest. A broad range of student interests can be accommodated due to the interdisciplinary nature of the program.
