For FAMU students who can’t decide on just one major, the new interdisciplinary studies bachelor’s degree programs within the College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities may be a perfect fit.

The program will benefit students who are seeking a broad educational focus that may not be obtained in a single discipline. The program of study is flexible and designed to enable to students to pursue a well-rounded education that best fits their educational goals.

Due to the nature of the major, students will work with an advisor and formulate a program of study for a unique, individualized degree plan. The student may draw upon the resources of the entire FAMU inventory of classes. Meeting with an academic advisor each term is required to ensure that they will progress through the degree program in a timely manner.

“The B.S./B.A. interdisciplinary studies degree program will provide undergraduate students an alternative education model to achieve their career goals and directly augment the efforts of various academic units to increase students’ access, retention and degree completion at the university,” said Merlin Langley, chair, interdisciplinary studies committee.

The interdisciplinary studies program will continue FAMU’s contribution to the local, state and national workforce by producing more individuals who have earned a baccalaureate degree necessary for entry into varied occupations, such as a historian, curator, educator, foreign ambassador, author, military officer or journalist.
