Interdisciplinary Requirement
Interdisciplinary courses question and offer an alternative to traditional knowledge production processes in that they seek to be integrative and holistic, rather than fragmented and compartmentalized. They use an inquiry rather than a disciplinary or multi-disciplinary approach. In sum, the interdisciplinary course emphasizes connections among three or more disciplines and integration of knowledge, themes, and ideas from these different disciplines. (Taken from the WCU Handbook for Interdisciplinary Courses)
Students must earn 3 credits of Interdisciplinary coursework.
Because interdisciplinary courses are, by design, treatment of a subject from different disciplines, interdisciplinary courses may not be used to fulfill the Distributed Disciplinary Foundations requirement. However, a course may simultaneously satisfy the interdisciplinary requirement and any other General Education Academic Foundation or Additional Baccalaureate requirement(s).
NOTE: An Interdisciplinary designation may only transfer into WCU if the course from a student's prior institution has been submitted to and approved by the Interdisciplinary Committee of the Curriculum and Academic Policies Council (CAPC). To receive credit for this type of course, students must submit a Course Substitution Request to the Office of the Special Assistant for Academic Policy.
