BA Interdisciplinary Studies

Interdisciplinary Studies invites its students to design a unique major by selecting courses from two or three different disciplines offered at Naropa University. Students begin the program by taking the required Gateway Seminar, which surveys the history of disciplines as they are studied and as they constitute major and minor degree programs. This gateway course then turns to study the various disciplines as they are constituted here at Naropa. With this background, students design their own program of study in a Learning Agreement.

This approach ensures that students bring an informed and educated perspective to their own unique focus of study. The student also chooses two mentors with whom they will work during their stay at Naropa.
