The ETSU Division of Cross-Disciplinary Studies provides undergraduate and graduate offerings for students.
Cross-Disciplinary Studies offers more than a typical degree-completion program or multidisciplinary degree; programs of study are framed within an interdisciplinary context. This combines lifelong learning and intellectual flexibility with professional preparation and career skills, and students have opportunities to apply what they’ve learned in an outside setting. The senior capstone project, which exercises students' research and analytical skills, can be applied to an internship, service learning project, or independent study. More flexible and convenient than ever before, students have the option to take traditional, off-campus, and online classes as needed.
Cross-Disciplinary Studies offers two scholarships to our students: the Michael and Julia Collins Scholarship and the Harley-McClaskey Leadership Studies Scholarship. You can learn more about both scholarships on our Student Resources page.
