Think Differently!
The U's IdEA program - Interdisciplinary Education and Action - provides you with a liberal learning experience where today's issues become the subjects of your classes.
An Interdisciplinary Focus:
IdEA's theme is entitled "Liberal Learning: Students in a Global Community". Focusing on topics such as justice, community and sustainability, you'll develop your critical thinking skills while exploring the meaningful connections that exist among the disciplines.
Turning Concepts Into Action:
You'll put your education into action by engaging in a significant project, such as a service-learning or community-based research project, related to your course content.
The IdEA Program, an institutional graduation requirement, demands that you - and also the experts guiding you - step back from your disciplinary emphasis and look at the world a bit differently.
