ARTS & HUMANITIES DIVISION
Interdisciplinary Studies combines the study of several subjects into one integrated course or “learning community,” usually for ten or more credits. Each IDS course features a theme that forms a common thread across disciplines.
The focus of these courses is YOU. Students learn with each other and from each other by discussing readings in small groups (seminars), taking part in group activities, and, in some courses, by taking field trips. These programs emphasize the process of learning as well as course content. The student-centered, discussion-oriented format encourages and supports different points of view and creates a social climate that promotes collaborative learning.

For 15,000 years dogs have been our closest companions and are quite possibly the very first domesticated animal. Their centuries-long relationship with us tells us much about their capabilities and our needs. In this class we’ll explore the many facets of our life with canis familiaris, to learn more about this amazing species and more about ourselves. We’ll read nonfiction works examining dogs, as well as some of the classic dog stories of American culture, and write papers around this complex theme.
