The Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS) is designed for self-motivated graduate students who want to expand their knowledge in areas outside of their previous training or present profession. MAIS welcomes students with undergraduate degrees from a number of different disciplines as well as professionals who need or want to obtain graduate-level training in a broad, interdisciplinary program.<br><br>MAIS is an alternative response to other, more specialized MA programs. Students and professionals with degrees in the Liberal Arts, as well as in education, business, science, health, and in technology, will have the opportunity to broaden their expertise in a global context. Rather than gaining some level of expertise in a specific discipline, graduates of MAIS gain expertise in the far more useful skills of interpretation and critical thinking across many disciplines.
