Interdisciplinary Studies Minor

The minor in Interdisciplinary Studies allows students to construct an interdisciplinary minor program designed to meet specific educational goals that may not be accommodated by existing minors at Illinois State.

Students who complete the Individualized Sequence will have their transcripts noted: "Minor in Interdisciplinary Studies: Individualized Sequence: ________________" (the theme that is specified on the plan of study).

Requirements for Completion of the Minor
