What is the credit breakdown of a multidisciplinary studies degree from Concordia
University Texas?
You must take 18 credit hours in each of your two chosen program areas. At least 12 of these hours must be upper-level, and at least 6 of the upper-level credit hours in each program area must be taken from Concordia University Texas. The remaining 6 credits hours can be selected as supporting courses. Courses only count for one program area or as a supporting course, not both.
The two questions I get asked most frequently as director of the Multidisciplinary Major are "What is a Multidisciplinary degree?" and "Why should I consider this major?"
The Multidisciplinary major refers to the study of more than one academic discipline or profession, which can give you maximum flexibility to design a program that fits your unique personal and vocational goals.
If you haven’t decided on a major, or you have broad interests and want to continue to be a lifelong learner, the Multidisciplinary Major is a strong option to consider. It gives you the freedom to explore a variety of subject areas and how they interconnect with each other, so you can choose the right major for you.
