Sophomore Interdisciplinary Studies

McDaniel College will offer interdisciplinary courses to all students during their sophomore year. Each of these unique courses examines an important topic or issue or set of questions that is best understood by being approached through multiple perspectives. In addition, the program ensures that students have an opportunity to inter- act with many faculty early in their undergraduate careers. The courses are organized in a number of ways. Several courses will be offered each semester. Some courses will have multiple sections, with students sometimes gathering in larger groups for lectures and smaller discussion as appropriate. Course instructors will serve as lecturers, discussion leaders and facilitators. Some faculty may provide guest lectures or serve as co-instructors for the course. Each course will be organized in a fashion that facilitates an exciting interdisciplinary learning experience for its students.
