Interdisciplinary Studies: Customize the Path to Your Future

Every student has an individual calling or dream career—and sometimes achieving this goal requires a unique route. At PCC, the interdisciplinary studies major allows you to design a degree that will specifically prepare you for your calling. You’ll be fully supported by your Student Success Advisors as you work toward making this dream into a reality.

Within the interdisciplinary studies program—a true liberal arts degree—you’ll become well-versed in more than one academic discipline, increase effective communication and critical thinking skills, and be able to succeed in today’s changing work environments.

“Our interdisciplinary studies program allows students to customize their major from a variety of fields. While some other institutions require students to focus either on the sciences or the arts, our program allows students to have concentrations in both sciences and arts.

My desire, along with the other faculty, is to give our students a well-rounded education with a biblical foundation so that they are well prepared for the career that God has called them to. My hope is that they will graduate understanding how to approach any situation with the biblical worldview that they were able to cultivate throughout their academic career.”

Emergency Management Coordinator

“I know from personal experience that you may not know exactly what you want to study your first year of college. What I enjoyed most about [my degree] was the ability to study what I was interested in. The interdisciplinary [studies] degree gives you the ability to take a wide range of classes while still giving you the firm foundation for any degree. I am currently using my degree to serve my county by ensuring we are fully prepared for any emergency. I interned with Santa Rosa County for Emergency Management and Escambia County in the same field and found the career I wanted to pursue through those internships.”
