In the IDS 401 experience, you will use the interdisciplinary skills you’ve developed in the IDS program to arrange, plan and execute your own applied learning project. Students have four options to choose from: Applied Study, Directed Study, Research Fellowship, and Humanities Lab. In each option students will integrate your two c concentration areas in a meaningful way.
Regardless of which IDS 401 option you choose, you’ll be guided by ASU faculty and professional experts in conducting interdisciplinary analysis, synthesis and evaluation. In IDS 401, you have the opportunity to integrate the prerequisite interdisciplinary knowledge you acquired in your core IDS courses with the disciplinary knowledge you acquired from your concentration areas. These new interdisciplinary tools and insights will then be applied to a project, problem, or context of your choosing.
