Multidisciplinary studies programs are designed for individuals with unique professional and educational objectives not readily met by traditional master's degree programs. Through advisement and within certain guidelines, students may design their own programs.
There are four program options available: individualized, environmental research and education, human services administration, or public relations management.
Upon satisfactory completion of an approved course of study, either a master of arts or a master of science degree is awarded, depending on the scope and content of the program.
The Environmental Research and Education Option focuses on study of the environment of the Great Lakes. The primary disciplines include anthropology, biology, chemistry, earth science and earth science education, and geography and planning. Secondary disciplines include creative thinking, economics, and history.The program imparts the broad-based understanding and technical knowledge necessary to deal with complex issues facing the lakes and their contributing watersheds.
