Find Your Major

General education programs are designed to give you the skills you need, regardless of your major: how to write well, how to construct a logical argument, how to use mathematics to solve problems. But in most universities, the general education programs are regarded as an obligation to be grudgingly satisfied on the way to the “real” education that awaits in the major course of study.

Not here. Our general education core is the central component of the liberal arts experience. The Interdisciplinary Studies Core Curriculum (IDS) differs from other general education programs in four key ways: the breadth of the program, the structure of the program, its emphasis on interdisciplinarity, and the use of team teaching.
