Honors Program
Interdisciplinary Studies Curriculum
The Interdisciplinary Studies Honors curriculum (IDH) covers 24
hours of the student's general education requirement by integrating
the disciplines of English, humanities, the social sciences, and
the natural sciences. Students can take all or part of the program.
 Interdisciplinary Studies is team-taught by four faculty members
from several academic disciplines, and provides students with a
strong background for further college work. Courses in the IDH Program
are offered in Fall Term and Spring Term each year.
This program provides an exciting opportunity for students to
see the connections between branches of knowledge and to see the
exchange of ideas that take place between the arts and the sciences.
Emphasis is placed on students' critical thinking abilities – their
ability to read, write, speak and analyze effectively and on their
ability to think creatively.
Students from the IDH program have distinguished themselves in
fields as varied as ownership of small businesses, the medical professions,
architecture, advertising, counseling, education, and international
relations.
In addition to excellent preparation for further college work,
the IDH program also offers students the opportunity for faculty
mentoring, leadership development, and varied cultural and social
activities. Together these services form a comprehensive educational
package that addresses the special needs of honors students.
