A Tradition of Excellence
For over half a century, IDS has been offering students the opportunity to discover effective ways of combining varieties of academic interests into individually tailored, coherent programs of study. The major - first known as the Social Science Divisional Major, later as the Multidisciplinary Program (MDP), and since 1992 as IDS - has been available at MSU since 1944. IDS celebrated its Diamond Anniversary, recognizing 60 years of distinguished service to MSU undergraduate education, in 2004-05.
The Interdisciplinary Studies in Social Science program offers the following degree programs:
- B.A., Interdisciplinary Studies in Social Science
- B.S., Interdisciplinary Studies in Social Science
