The Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) program provides students with an enhanced education through the study of two disciplines in a planned and purposeful approach. The program was designed to accommodate students who are interested in fields of study that are not offered as specific major programs at Lander University. Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) students may select an existing IDS module that meets their needs or interests, or they may work with the coordinator of the IDS program and the chairs of two disciplines to develop a new module tailored to their individual interests or career needs. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES IDS program will 1. Provide an interdisciplinary academic experience for students with career interests that are not satisfied by current discipline-based programs at Lander. 2. Provide an appropriate academic program for adults in the community for whom a major in one discipline is too limiting. 3. Offer students opportunities to explore emerging fields through innovative program design using existing course offerings. PROGRAM LEARNING OBJECTIVES Students completing an IDS program will 1. gain college level understanding of the fundamentals of the two disciplines in their IDS module; 2. analyze and critically evaluate information in those two disciplines; 3. demonstrate the ability to integrate the two disciplines into a comprehensive body of knowledge; and 4. demonstrate the ability to communicate understanding of the inter-disciplinary links to others, both orally and in writing, or in other media as appropriate to their module. APPLYING TO THE IDS PROGRAM New and returning students interested in the IDS program are encouraged to contact the IDS Program Coordinator upon acceptance into Lander University. This will provide a suitable amount of time to develop and obtain approval for a new module in the IDS Program, if necessary. It is expected that students will have a reasonably clear idea of what they hope to accomplish through the IDS program at Lander University, for example, a particular career path or exploring a newly developed or developing field of study. Students who decide to pursue an IDS program will complete an application form which can be found on the Lander web site: http://www.lander.edu/academics/colleges-departments/interdisciplinary-studies/overview. For students proposing a new module, acceptance into the IDS program is contingent on the approval of the proposed module. Students may select from modules already approved. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS An IDS program consists of general education courses, two IDS courses, courses in the two disciplines of the module, and general elective hours. The program may result in either a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science degree depending on the design of the module. All Lander University general education requirements must be met in completing an IDS program. Specific general education courses may be required in some categories in order to complete or complement the particular module selected or developed. These module-specific courses will be indicated on the approved module program requirements pages. The two courses required of all IDS students are IDS 101 and IDS 499. The first provides an introduction to interdisciplinary studies and the second is the capstone course in the major. Courses in an IDS module will include a minimum of 30 semester hours at the 300-level or higher in the two represented disciplines, 18 hours in one and 12 hours in the other. Additional courses that are either foundational for the module or which are prerequisites for the upper-level courses may also be required. 252

PROPOSING A NEW IDS MODULE Students or faculty wishing to propose a new IDS module may do so in consultation with the IDS Program Coordinator and the Department Chairs of the two disciplines in the proposed module. A program proposal form bearing the signatures of the department chairs will be completed and returned to the IDS Program Coordinator. The module will then be submitted to the appropriate faculty bodies on campus for approval. Modifications to a proposed module may occur throughout the approval process. Students are not to consider their program of study as completely determined until the module has successfully passed all levels of approval. The IDS Program Coordinator will serve as the initial academic advisor for all incoming IDS students, and will inform students of the official approval of any newly proposed modules. 253
