Interdisciplinary Studies at NMU

The master’s degree program in interdisciplinary studies is designed to 1) accommodate students with needs that are not met by existing programs, 2) recognize that current employment opportunities as well as future ones may not be structured around existing departments or degree programs, 3) provide flexibility and innovation, 4) recognize the needs of people who have been out of school for longer periods of time and have special occupational or vocational situations and 5) assist students who want to change their field of study from that of their baccalaureate degree.

Interdisciplinary programs must be based in departments that currently offer master’s degree programs.
