麻豆原创 is expanding the College of Community Innovation and Education<\/a> to include the new School of Interdisciplinary Studies (SIS). The move supports 麻豆原创’s commitment to providing students with an environment that fosters student success and academic excellence. \u00a0The classes students take and the faculty members they work with will remain the same. No action is required of impacted students.<\/p>\n

“Creating the School of Interdisciplinary Studies strengthens our ability to provide students with the resources, connections and experiences they need to excel,” says Ross Wolf, interim dean of the College of Community Innovation and Education. “Being part of a larger college provides SIS students with access to more opportunities that support their academic and career goals, along with expanded opportunities for internships, research and community engagement.”<\/p>\n

SIS degree programs range from environmental studies and sustainability to leadership, or a combination of multiple areas of study. Students have the unique opportunity to customize their degree programs to align with their interests and career goals.<\/p>\n

This multidisciplinary approach to learning prepares students to solve complex problems by drawing on knowledge from multiple disciplines and experiences. With guidance from faculty and staff, students learn to think critically, combine diverse insights and develop innovative solutions to pressing issues in their communities and beyond.<\/p>\n

“The School of Interdisciplinary Studies concentrates tightly on student success; faculty and staff translate students’ existing interests and coursework into a focused path to graduation that connects students with meaningful careers,” says Melinda Hall, director of the School of Interdisciplinary Studies. “As the new director of SIS, I very much look forward to sharing the fantastic work of our faculty and staff and encouraging students to cultivate their skills in our classrooms.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
