Interdisciplinary Studies

General Studies Concentration

General Studies is an opportunity to create an independent interdisciplinary course of study. This unique concentration is for a SSC student who has a very specific professional objective/career and needs flexibility in planning a degree program. Students who create this independent course of study build a flow sheet reflecting courses that are cross disciplines. Interested students should initiate an appointment with the General Studies coordinator for information regarding the application process.

A formal proposal is required of each applicant that consists of a narrative including a statement detailing the student's goals which support the flow sheet created by the student. The proposal also includes two letters of recommendation from SSC faculty.
