About the Program

Advisement for the major is available from the Interdisciplinary Studies Program 
The Fulton School of Liberal Arts offers a major in interdisciplinary studies leading to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. The major accommodates students who wish to develop programs of study in two or more disciplines or create a major in an area of study not offered by any traditional major at SU. This program allows students to create an individual and flexible major that is best suited to their interests or career goals. Most importantly, this program gives students the opportunity to integrate information across disciplines to help gain a more complete understanding of the chosen area of study.
Students majoring in interdisciplinary studies may choose a program in anthropology, administered by the History Department, offering subdisciplines in prehistory/archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology and biological anthropology. Anthropology examines empirical evidence for human evolution; the diversity of cultures, especially in small scale societies; the relationship between language and culture; and the accumulated archaeological record of prehistoric and historic societies. Students interested in the interdisciplinary studies anthropology concentration should consult with the coordinator of anthropology.
