Interdisciplinary courses that combine 2 or more of the social and behavioral science disciplines and that meet the following criteria will be acceptable.
"Social and behavioral science interdisciplinary courses" are those that integrate two or more disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences. Courses will be a survey in nature, broad in scope, and foundational in the sense that they provide students with a basis for intellectual development and further study in the various disciplines. The relationship between the disciplines will be made explicit in the course. Textbooks and readings from those disciplines will be a significant part of the course, and methods of instruction may include instructors from more than one of the disciplines teaching jointly. On satisfactory completion of an interdisciplinary social and behavioral science course, students will:
- derive a balance of the concepts, theories, methods, and conclusions of each discipline.
- gain an understanding of two or more of the social or behavioral sciences
