Interdisciplinary Studies
The Interdisciplinary Studies major and accompanying degree educates to the broad sweep of the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Together with other Sacred Heart University core requirements for the bachelor’s degree, the major provides graduates with the necessary foundation for successful teaching of academic content in the elementary school.
The Interdisciplinary Studies major for aspiring elementary teachers is designed with the intention to provide candidates with a balanced set of courses in the arts and sciences—English, history, political science, geography, mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics—as well as the opportunity to explore one of the aforementioned areas in depth.
