Program Overview

Interdisciplinary Studies

Master of Interdisciplinary Studies (M.I.S.)

The online masters degree in interdisciplinary studies at The University of Toledo is a student-centered graduate program that allows students to create their own personalized plan of study with a UToledo faculty advisor.

• Time to Completion: 33 Credits
• Full or Part-time Completion Options
• Asynchronous Class Instruction
• 100% Online

The program is for non-traditional students with bachelors degrees who desire additional study in the liberal arts.

• There are a few required courses that cover topics in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and visual and performing arts.
  • Students are free to choose most of their classes from the university's diverse list of online graduate-school classes that meet their career interests and goals.
• Students will also complete a traditional thesis or design their own creative or applied capstone project.

Some students enter the program uncertain about their long-term objectives but are quickly inspired by a particular course or line of inquiry. Few educational paths prepare graduates as holistically as advanced study in interdisciplinary studies.
