Interdisciplinary Initiatives

College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

CLAS has 23 departments in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and most of our instruction and scholarship is organized within this departmental structure. In addition, encouraging scholarship that bridges existing disciplines and departments is a tenet of our strategic plan.

The Dean's Office encourages and supports interdisciplinary initiatives in promising areas of research. The following themes and projects describe some of the noteworthy interdisciplinary work currently underway in the College.
