Interdisciplinary (cross-disciplinary) academic programs (degree program, major, minor, or certificate) are administered from outside the structure of a single academic department and must originate with the formal sponsorship of two or more academic departments/schools. Formal sponsorship constitutes either nine or more credit hours or 30% or more of the total credit hours listed as requirements and/or options.
