Interdisciplinary Studies

Design your plan of study, incorporating different domains of knowledge, based on your own interests and goals with Mountain State University's Master of Arts or Master of Science in interdisciplinary studies.

The program's flexible approach allows you to pursue your degree part time or at a distance. It also allows you to tailor your graduate study to your specific professional context and to use your current work environment as a setting for action research.

While students may structure their studies around an area of specific interest, standardized concentrations are available for a range of high-demand fields:

• Adult Learning Facilitation (M.A.). Incorporates advanced work in a specific discipline and field experience in a directed applied educational setting.
  
• Disability Studies (M.S.). Includes the history of disability issues, evolution of social attitudes, social responses through regulations, and educational issues.
  
• Liberal Studies (M.A.). Includes important works in literature, history, theories of society, and philosophy.
• Psychology Studies (M.A.). Provides mastery in psychology and linkage between psychology and other interdisciplinary areas of interest; an academic concentration that does not and is not intended to lead to licensure. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in psychology or a related field and submission of a writing sample.
• Social and Behavioral Studies (M.S.). Includes specific coursework as well as directed work and projects.
