Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies at ASU
The Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) is offered through the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts. This degree takes a liberal arts approach in which students pick two subject concentration areas to combine with a set of core courses. Students gain essential skill sets, learn how to integrate their concentration areas, and engage in field experience to prepare for careers and graduate programs that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Additionally, the IDS-Organizational Studies degree program provides a multidisciplinary approach to the study of how individuals and groups interact with organizations and are affected by them. This guide attempts to identify useful resources from these various disciplines for research in IDS and IDS-Organizational Studies.
