Program Strengths
While there are many ways to 鈥渄o鈥� interdisciplinarity, UMA’s INT department offers ways to enhance service-oriented fields like justice studies or mental health and human services. Many of our students combine courses in professional studies with INT department courses, which offer a bigger scope of understanding and a social justice lens. This transdisciplinary work connects what students learn in their university courses with the work that they do in the 鈥渞eal world.鈥� The lines of disciplines are blurred and the result is a big picture understanding of the world and the ways that we can make a difference.
