Office of Interdisciplinary Collaborations

The Office of Interdisciplinary Collaborations is the campus hub for interdisciplinary teaching and research. It oversees the Interdisciplinary Studies major (the BIS degree), encourages the use of the prefix of UNIV for university-wide interdisciplinary courses, and also works to promote interdisciplinarity more generally. Its goal is to engage students, faculty, staff, and community members in new and creative programs and classes, open up new fields of knowledge, and help discover innovative solutions to pressing intellectual and social problems.
