Interdisciplinary Studies Major

The Interdisciplinary Studies Major at UM allows you to create your own major.

 

At Montevallo you can choose an existing path, or you can make your own. If you are a highly motivated student who wants to think in new ways, the IDS major may be for you.

IDS students design their own course of study and work closely with faculty mentors the whole way.  Students typically enter the major in their sophomore year. Here are some areas of study an IDS major might pursue:

 

Environmental Activism
Latin American Studies
Human Resources Management
Creativity Therapy in the Prisons
Peace and Justice Studies
The Aesthetics and Culture of Games
