BA/BS in Interdisciplinary Studies
Interdisciplinary studies is a growing, 多样化的, and dynamic field that values the integration of multiple academic perspectives. Degree programs in the field are designed for traditional and adult returning students whose needs are not met with the historical major or minor program. Interdisciplinary studies is all about looking at education from the student's perspective and offering them a customized plan to learn, 专业化, and access the best of what UNA offers.
另外, interdisciplinary programs have developed in response to demands from employers that college graduates have 多样化的 "ready-to-work" skills, the ability to think across traditional academic lines, a change orientation, and excellent communication skills. To meet these demands we offer students an individualized path to complete their Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree by offering 重点领域 containing complementary courses that cross traditional disciplinary lines.

奖状
"I decided to pursue an Interdisciplinary Studies Degree when I realized that one discipline of study was not going to make me as well-rounded as I needed to be for the type of work I wanted to do. This degree program has helped me learn many different skills from both the Entertainment Industry and Digital Media disciplines. My Post-Graduation plans are to work in a church as a Worship Leader and/or Creative Director, along with any freelance music and graphic design work I pick up along the way. I feel that once I graduate, I will have the skills to be able to set up, 执行, 录制音乐, while also being able to work on graphics, 摄影, video, 还有社交媒体."
Patrick Crummie, 2022 graduate - BS in Interdisciplinary Studies with an Emphasis in Art. He is currently employed as the Creative Arts Director at Highland Park Baptist Church in Muscle Shoals, AL.
