School Location
The purpose of the Interdisciplinary Studies Major and the Special Certificate programs is to allow students, with the advice and approval of knowledgeable faculty and administrators, to design their own academic programs tailored to their unique needs and interests.

At least two separate degree-granting programs must be involved. A graduate Interdisciplinary Studies Major must be approved no later than the time when the student has fewer than 32-39 quarter units to complete for the degree. This is to ensure that a significant portion of the program is planned in advance by the student and his/her faculty advisors, and that the residence requirement can be met. The diploma will read "Interdisciplinary Studies Major in (program title)."

The Interdisciplinary Studies Major program should not be seen as a device to avoid certain requirements of a regular major, nor as a means to gain admission to an impacted program. Likewise, an Interdisciplinary Studies Major cannot be developed in areas such as architecture, agriculture, and home economics where the campus currently lacks the necessary faculty expertise and physical facilities. Finally, an Interdisciplinary Studies Major is not a self-study, independent study, or external degree program.

Student Learning Outcomes

Because Interdisciplinary Studies Majors are individualized courses of study, student learning outcomes will be individually created for each student by the student's Interdisciplinary Studies Major Committee. All students, however, who graduate with an M.A. or M.S. Interdisciplinary Studies Major from Cal State East Bay will (1) learn how to approach an issue or problem from at least two disciplinary perspectives; and (2) demonstrate mastery of an interdisciplinary approach to an issue or problem in a capstone assignment (project, thesis, or comprehensive exam).
