C.W. Post offers both the Masters of Arts and Master of Science graduate degree programs in Interdisciplinary Studies that may incorporate courses from any of the six C.W. Post colleges and schools. An individual course of study, subject to the approval of the IDS Faculty Committee, will be developed by the student with the assistance of appropriate graduate advisors and the program coordinator. A total of 36 credits is required for the degree, of which 6 credits may be in thesis work. Each program will vary according to the needs and interests of the student; the program must be coherent. A clearly stated rationale for choosing Interdisciplinary Studies and a list of proposed courses must be approved by the IDS Faculty Committee before matriculation is granted. Information is available by calling the Office of the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at 516-299-2233.
