Multidisciplinary Activities (MDA) offers courses which are developed and taught by more than one program, department and/or school. These courses exist because of the college's interest in supporting interdisciplinary teaching and research.
Students who enroll in MDA courses share a common interest in the subject matter, but are not necessarily majors in those disciplines. These courses can be used as electives for certain degree requirements and occasionally for general education credit. Most MDA courses are cross-enrolled; that is, students who enroll in an MDA class are also enrolled in one of the disciplines indicated in the course descriptions.
A student's transcript indicates enrollment in a multidisciplinary activities course.
