Admission Requirements
Complete the following admission requirements:
-
Meet with an interdisciplinary advisor. Students who are interested in any undergraduate interdisciplinary studies program are required to meet with an advisor in the Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Studies department to discuss and develop their educational plan. Please click on the "schedule an appointment" link on the Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Studies website.
-
Create a draft of your interdisciplinary studies major plan on the Interdisciplinary Studies: Minor- Approval Form. An interdisciplinary minor cannot be titled the similarly to an existing UAF minor, and it must demonstrate a cohesive body of knowledge and skills. Your draft will includes your minor's title, courses to be included, and your individualized learning outcomes. It is especially important that interdisciplinary students can identify their own individualized learning outcomes, which are the knowledge and skills you expect develop through you minor's courses.
- The Approval Form is in Google Drive, and you should share it with your interdisciplinary advisor by clicking the "Share" button on the top right and entering their email address. When you feel your draft is ready to be reviewed, email your interdisciplinary studies advisor and copy the Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Studies department email address, uaf-interdisciplinary@alaska.edu, to request that your minor be reviewed.
- A committee appointed by the vice provost will review and approve the interdisciplinary studies minor. This committee will ensure that minor is cohesive and that it does not overlap with an existing minor. The committee may ask for changes to the minor before approving. Copies of the signed and approved form are sent to the student and the Office of the Registrar to be added to the student's records.
