"This unique degree allows students to study two or three fields of study (called concentrations) and to reflect on the interconnections between and across their chosen concentrations.
This degree serves many different types of students:
aspiring community college-level instructors or instructors who want to expand their knowledge, expertise, and credentialing
licensed K-12 teachers who want to enhance their content knowledge and advance within their career
individuals across many careers for whom the MA degree will result in increased pay and opportunities
life-long learners who enjoy academic scholarship or for whom a graduate degree has always been an aspiration" - Interdisciplinary Studies Program Website
