Walden University Offers B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) December 21, 2008 -- In today's complex global society, issues are increasingly becoming too broad to be covered by a single discipline or profession. Walden University's new Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies online degree program gives students a unique opportunity to define their own course of study and learn skills that can be immediately applied to help meet the needs of today's employers.
"The B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies incorporates themes central to all of Walden's undergraduate programs: global awareness, social responsibility, civic engagement and information fluency," said Dr. David Mathieu, executive director for Walden's Center for Undergraduate Studies. "The Association of American Colleges and Universities cites this type of integrative learning as central to students' personal success and quality of life in the 21st century."
The report, "College Learning for the New Global Century," published by the National Leadership Council for Liberal Education and America's Promise and the Association of American Colleges and Universities this year, confirms that today's students need knowledge and skills from several areas and an advanced ability to analyze, communicate and solve real-world problems--all of which Walden's B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies provides.
In Walden's B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies program, students may select two areas of disciplinary emphasis from Walden's undergraduate majors. And they may choose from a variety of experiences--including a seminar, internship, study abroad or service-learning, and two research-driven capstone courses--to help broaden their studies. Students can also create an ePortfolio by uploading their assignments as they complete them so that when they graduate, they'll be able to represent their achievements with an interactive showcase of their work.
In addition to this new undergraduate program, Walden also offers bachelor's programs in business administration, psychology, child development, and computer information systems. For more information on the B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies program or any of the other bachelor's degree programs at this accredited online university, visit www.WaldenU.edu.
