Interdisciplinary Study at Grinnell College

In many ways, study at Grinnell College seeks to integrate different forms of knowledge, approaches, and ways of thinking. Interdisciplinary (and otherwise integrative) study begins with the first year Tutorial and can culminate with a Mentored Advanced Project, many of which cross disciplines.

Interdisciplinary majors, concentrations, interdisciplinary study themes, collaboratively-taught and otherwise interdisciplinary courses, and interdisciplinary centers and programs provide students with a rich and coordinated opportunity to explore a significant issue from a range of disciplinary perspectives and experiences.

 

Interdisciplinary Concentrations:

The college offers 11 Interdisciplinary Concentrations

A Concentration Declaration Coversheet is needed for all concentration declarations.
