Center for Interdisciplinary Studies
Interdisciplinary Studies at Davidson
The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (CIS) provides opportunities for students and faculty to explore topics that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Through the CIS students have the ability to complete majors that are not regularly offered by academic departments or programs.
CIS students benefit from individualized plans of study with faculty advisers who support their creative and interdisciplinary interests. Faculty members who advise and mentor students in the CIS seek to nurture the initiatives, passions, and entrepreneurial spirits of students.
