School of Interdisciplinary Studies (SIS) | College of Liberal Arts | Purdue University
đź’ˇOffering 13 Interdisciplinary Programs
https://www.cla.purdue.edu/academic/sis/index.html The School of Interdisciplinary Studies (SIS) incorporates the various interdisciplinary programs in the College of Liberal Arts ranging from area studies, ethnic studies, to comparative studies. While each of our progr
ams share the value of interdisciplinarity, our approaches range from multidisciplinary—in which people from different disciplines collaborate, interdisciplinary—in which knowledge and methods from different disciplines are integrated, to transdisciplinary—in which a new unity of intellectual frameworks are created beyond the originating disciplines. Despite this variation in approach, our programs all recognize the need and value of interdisciplinary approaches to integrate and synthesize knowledge to provide a fuller understanding of a topic. The School of Interdisciplinary Studies (SIS) currently consists of 16 interdisciplinary programs: African American Studies, American Studies, Asian Studies, Asian American Studies, Comparative Literature, Critical Disability Studies, Film & Video Studies, Global Studies, Jewish Studies, Latin American & Latino Studies, Linguistics, Medieval & Renaissance Studies, Native American & Indigenous Studies, Peace Studies, Religious Studies, and Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies.
