Interdisciplinary Program of Sciences
Interdisciplinary Program of Sciences
Brief Introduction
About the program: the program is highly flexible. The common first year courses are physics, chemistry, calculus, etc. During the sophomore year, students take specific courses in the core subjects of mathematics, chemistry, and physics, in order to build a solid science background. In the junior year, students will double major and take other courses at the college of Science or at departments in other colleges according to their aptitude and interests. Seniors can take advanced courses or a campus-wide program. Counseling service: starting from the freshman year, all students, in accordance with their aptitude and interests, will be advised about their lives and academic work by professors called mentors from different fields. Case studies: students are encouraged and advised to carry out case studies as early as possible. They are free to choose any interdisciplinary research topics and will be taught by a number of professors from various departments, using software and hardware provided by school faculties, funding and a variety of incentives provided by the office of the registrar, in order to nurture creative and talented individuals across various fields. Study abroad: sophomore and junior students will have trips arranged for them to world-class universities. This will be in the summer as an exchange program, in order to develop international perspective and enhance creativity for their dual expertise in interdisciplinary fields and their technological talent. Dual degree: all students are granted a degree in science with a double expertise. The total number of the credits needed for the degree is 128, which is the same in number as a single major department, like mathematics, physics, and chemistry. This won’t add too much load to the students.
