Interdisciplinary work integrates knowledge, modes of thinking and experiences from two or more disciplines. This rigorous examination of real world problems and issues from multiple perspectives involves both depth and application of knowledge. We partner with talented and passionate faculty from across Grand Valley to challenge students to achieve. The College offers both academic programs as well as University-wide service programs that blend knowledge with experience. We invite you to join us!
