Interdisciplinary Integrations

Students may create an interdisciplinary experience by integrating two or more courses dealing with the same period or related subject matter such as art and history, literature and history, history and political science, psychology and anthropology, etc. They do this by arranging to submit one paper on an interdisciplinary topic for both courses, rather than two separate shorter papers. Some examples of courses that lend themselves to this kind of interdisciplinary integration are:
