Welcome to the self-designed Interdisciplinary Studies in Education master's degree program at UVM. Student in our program represent a variety of professions including higher education administration, public school education, social and human services, business, health care, non-profits, and more. Our students see themselves as educators in the broadest sense of the term. They coach, train, workshop, lecture, teach, write, advise, mentor, guide, administer, lead, and inspire. They join and innovate new approaches to social justice and community building. They also realize that interdisciplinary studies deepens, enlarges, and enriches their theory and practice. They understand that educational professionals live and work in an interdisciplinary world, and few, if any, problems get solved by a single academic discipline. Like all educational programs at UVM, this program offers students opportunities to advance their educational and professional aspirations and helps engage them in strategies for improving their communities.
