University of Arizona IDS

The Interdisciplinary Studies degree prepares students to think critically and analytically across a wide range of disciplines or fields of study.

With a flexible degree program, you choose classes that are interesting and meaningful to you.

“A degree in interdisciplinary studies makes you well-rounded, because the scope of your classes is so broad that you can learn something from anywhere, every kind of field,” says Sean Elliott, who earned his degree online in 2022 and is named the College of Humanities 2024-25 Alumnus of the Year.
