Gain the intellectual flexibility, critical thinking, and analytical skills that will be worth offering to society and prospective employers through Interdisciplinary Studies (IDST) at the University of British Columbia.
The useful legacy of your undergraduate education will be the intellectual strength and the flexible, adaptable habits of mind that will enable you, probably more than once or twice in your working life, to experience challenges, to analyze and understand them, and to respond to them creatively and effectively.
There is a lot to be said for learning now to look at whatever interests you, or challenges, or puzzles you, from different points of view, using the diverse methods of analysis proper to a variety of academic disciplines.
Located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), we are a community of faculty members, and support staff, all working together to advance the study and understanding of Interdisciplinary Studies.
