Individualized Studies

Individualized Studies is your opportunity to design an interdisciplinary graduate program to develop expertise spanning multiple areas to meet your distinctive  educational and professional goals. By crafting your own degree path you can leverage the courses and faculty strength of the entire university. This program is not for everyone. The curriculum students pursue should reflect a detailed plan of study that makes intellectual sense and that cannot be completed within available degree programs at the university. 

Disciplinary Focus and Complementary Disciplines 

To help students develop a plan of study, beginning in Fall 2022, we have curated lists of classes in a variety of disciplines that can be combined to meet the degree requirements. Applicants should simply identify two fields and use the fields’ associated course lists to create an individualized MA degree.
