Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies
- Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies is interdisciplinary studies in a Jesuit educational context. This means integrating the liberal arts, sciences, and community engagement in a way that cultivates humanity. It is for students who have decided to gain a broad and deep education rather than be narrowly focused. Flexibility to choose courses that match your interests provides you with solid preparation for a rewarding career or graduate school. You will meet other students with initiative, thoughtfulness, and curiosity who want to use their skills and knowledge to make a contribution to society. Our program is top-ranked nationally as a leader in integrative education.
- Because the Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies, BA allows maximum flexibility in course choices, students will work closely with professors and advisors to focus their plan of study, especially on complex, real-world problems of personal interest. Students can also take advantage of study abroad, internships, and Seattle’s undergraduate publishing program.
- Interdisciplinarians study complex problems - such as the nature of consciousness, race relations, what is family, the value of public art, immigration, and many more. Complexity means that the problem has multiple components studied by different disciplines. Interdisciplinarians find common ground between disciplinary insights and integrate them to advance understanding of these problems. Being trained as interdisciplinarity yields marketable knowledge and skills: project management, effective communication, teamwork, leadership, strategic thinking, creativity, and enterprise.
- Recent graduates are working in major tech companies, non-profits, communications, business management, medical fields, counseling, law enforcement, and other professions, and teaching K-8 in the U.S., Asia, and Europe, and pursuing MA's and Ph.D.'s.
