IDSC Faculty Mentors

All Interdisciplinary University Studies Degree students are required to have a Faculty Mentor who agrees to supervise their individually designed major.  Upon completion of UNIV 2190, students should have identified an approved Faculty Mentor.  This individual agrees to serve as an evaluator and advisor throughout the student’s Interdisciplinary Degree Program and assists students with completing a plan of study.

As implied by the title, Faculty Mentors often serve as mentors to students, someone who critiques and supports, identifies academic resources, and recommends possible paths of inquiry or experience. You and your Faculty Mentor should meet on a regular basis (at least two times per semester) to discuss your progress within your Individual Studies major.
