Interdisciplinary Programs
Interdisciplinary Degrees (MA or MS) Students who are interested in creating their own Master’s degree program by combining course work in more than one discipline have the responsibility to design the program, organize a committee of faculty members to serve as advisors and make sure that it conforms to rigorous academic standards.
The proposed program must differ significantly from and may not substitute for an existing UAA graduate degree program. The student may select no more that one half of his/her program credit from one existing graduate degree program.
Procedures for developing an Interdisciplinary Studies Degree are listed in the UAA catalog under Graduate Programs.
