Southwestern's General and Interdisciplinary Studies Programs provide flexible, multi-disciplinary curricula that challenges students to achieve proficiency in several subjects rather than focusing on one major area of study. The General and Interdisciplinary Studies curricula are geared to prepare students for a lifetime of evolving opportunities aligned with their career aspirations.
These programs are designed for:
1) Students whose goal is to earn an interdisciplinary college degree that integrates two or more areas of emphasis.
2) Students who wish to attend Southwestern yet aspire to a career for which Southwestern does not offer a major, or that overlaps multiple existing majors.
3) Students who choose to attend Southwestern, but whose career goals require a general associate's or bachelor's degree rather than a specific major.
4) Students who have encountered a significant hurdle(s) in a specific major and wish to graduate in order to secure employment as a college graduate.
