The School of Interdisciplinary Studies (SIS) incorporates various interdisciplinary units in the College of Liberal Arts ranging from area studies, ethnic studies, to comparative studies. While each of our programs of study share the value of interdisciplinarity, our approaches range from multidisciplinary—in which people from different disciplines collaborate, interdisciplinary—in which knowledge and methods from different disciplines are integrated, to transdisciplinary—in which a new unity of intellectual frameworks are created beyond the originating disciplines.
