多学科研究专业不提供自己的课程，它允许对一个以上学科感兴趣的学生通过借鉴来自两个或三个不同学习领域的课程来设计自己的课程。例如，希望进入卫生专业的学生经常将生物学与心理学，英语或社会学相结合。对社会科学或物理科学感兴趣的其他人可以结合艺术，音乐或戏剧学习从这些领域中选择课程。可以进行研究以适合某一主题或某个时期的个人兴趣，例如国际事务或殖民时代。未成年人也可以满足学生的其中一个领域。多学科研究专业的个别学习课程是如此多样化，以至于毕业后无法对他们的职业道路做出一般性陈述。专业人士经常进入研究生院或专业学校
The Multidisciplinary Studies major, which offers no courses of its own, allows students who are interested in more than one discipline to design their own programs by drawing on courses from two or three different areas of study. For example, students who wish to enter the health professions frequently combine biology with psychology, English, or sociology. Others with interests in the social or physical sciences may choose courses from those areas in conjunction with study in art, music, or theatre. Studies may be pursued to suit individual interests in one subject or time period such as international affairs or the colonial era. An academic minor may also fulfill one of the student's areas. The individual programs of study for Multidisciplinary Studies majors are so diverse that no general statement can be made about their career paths after graduation. Majors frequently enter graduate or professional school or seek careers in business, education, or government agencies. Since the program of study requires careful planning, students choosing this major must see one of the MTD advisors to plan their individual program.
