Interdisciplinary Studies

Interdisciplinary Studies literally means studies that involve more than one discipline, like English and History. Casady School's Interdisciplinary Studies program is an integrative, inquiry-based learning experience encouraging intrinsically-motivated thinkers. Our Interdisciplinary Studies program in the Upper Division leads students to explore topics through a focused lens that crosses into multiple subject areas. Through this learning strategy, our students become adept at making connections and solving problems from a variety of perspectives.

Key Tenets

List of 3 items.

  • Inquiry-based

    Rather than having the teacher telling information to students, we will have students and teachers asking each other relevant questions about complex issues and collaborating with each other to locate varied sources of knowledge, information, and perspectives on those issues.
  • Interdisciplinary

    A systematic effort to integrate multiple perspectives (disciplines) into a more complete framework of analysis, thus accomplishing a new understanding that could not have been created by drawing from a single discipline.
  • Intrinsically motivated

    A focus on the students rather than the teacher will help students to honor, to learn, to engage, to innovate, to serve, and to thrive.
