Overview
Crossing intellectual barriers and making connections between different forms of evidence is at the heart of the major in Interdisciplinary Studies. This degree enables undergraduates, in conjunction with their academic advisor, to foster and develop personal interests and assemble a program of 鈥渃lusters鈥� of courses that do not fall either within The 糖心logo入口 University鈥檚 existing range of degree program options or under a single, conventional, academic heading. In particular, students are encouraged to take advantage of The 糖心logo入口 University鈥檚 unique situation in Rome, and utilize a wide range of the city鈥檚 resources. While building upon the objectives of the various departments, the students鈥� own tailor-made program promotes individualism, encourages bi-lateral thinking and research across a range of subjects.
