Those students wishing a broad interdisciplinary major as a foundation for their career choice (e.g., the arts, the law, public service, etc.) or who are motivated by intellectual curiosity and wish to pursue an individualized study plan, often choose the Interdisciplinary Studies Track I major within the Hutchins School of Liberal Studies. In addition to the core areas, students majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies will choose from a wide variety of courses which include elective seminars, workshops, independent and directed studies, internships and study away opportunities (one of which is required for the major).

Students in Track I may organize an Area of Emphasis within the forty units required for the major which reflects their career plans and/or intellectual interests. Track I students might engage in artistic and creative activities, research and scholarly investigations, Hutchins community projects, social and community action opportunities, or gather together a variety of experiences that they find intellectually satisfying.

Note: Any student earning a grade lower than a "C" in LIBS 302 will not be allowed to continue in Hutchins.
