The Interdisciplinary Studies major is a comprehensive major and is designed for students who cannot adequately realize their educational objectives through an existing academic program offered at UW-Superior.

The major is designed by the student in consultation with an academic advisor and selected faculty. The student is also required to take IDS 300 Educational Planning, a one credit online course that helps them design the major. The approval process for the major includes the advisor, chairs from the selected academic areas of study, the Director for Distance Learning, and the Credits and Reinstatement Committee
