Bachelor’s in Interdisciplinary Studies

As an Interdisciplinary Studies student you’ll have the opportunity to enhance your chosen area of study through research, travel study and experiential learning. Additionally, you’ll have opportunities to participate in internships and volunteer work in the community that allow you to explore your interests even further. Some NSU students choose to intern on-campus at the NSU's Halmos College of Arts and Sciences’ Center for Applied Humanities.

The Center for Applied Humanities serves as a resource for both students and scholars at NSU and from elsewhere. It hosts workshops, conferences, and other professional development events. You can participate in exciting Center for Applied Humanities initiatives such as “the Story of Home: Immigration Narratives about Homelands and Homecoming” or showcase your own projects as part of the center’s Digital Humanities initiative.
