Interdisciplinary Studies


Interdisciplinary minors allow students to supplement their major by grouping elective courses to focus on a particular topic from the perspective of different academic disciplines. In general, an interdisciplinary minor consists of four to six courses (16-24 credits) of related course work selected from no fewer than three departments. At least 12 of the required credits will be in courses beyond the introductory level. An interdisciplinary minor may be enrolled in addition to a major. A student must only meet the requirements of the minor of interest. In general, these courses may be enrolled at any time during a student’s program at Furman and in any order. Students may declare an interdisciplinary minor at any time.

Furman currently offers ten of these interdisciplinary minors: African American and African Diaspora Cultures, Ancient Greek and Roman Studies, English for Speakers of Other Languages, Environmental Studies, Latin American Studies, Film Studies, Middle East and Islamic Studies, Poverty Studies, Science Education and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
