Why Choose an Interdisciplinary Degree?
Interdisciplinary programs are ideal for students who want to:
-
Combine interests across multiple academic areas
-
Apply scientific and computational thinking to real-world challenges
-
Gain experience working across disciplines and perspectives
-
Prepare for careers in emerging fields that require expertise beyond a single subject area
X+CS Integrated Degrees
X+CS programs combine a strong foundation in computer science with coursework in another academic discipline, allowing students to gain expertise in both fields within a single degree program. Students develop core computational skills while applying them in a specific area of interest, preparing them for careers and graduate study at the intersection of disciplines.
Current X+CS degree options include:
-
Neuroscience + Computer Science (Neuroscience + CS)
Merge computer science and neuroscience through the Neuroscience+CS program, integrating a cutting-edge computer science education with a top-tier neuroscience program. Get ready to innovate across computer science, neuroscience and their intersection, including neural networks, cognitive computing and computational neuroscience.
-
History + Computer Science (History + CS)
Combine the richness of history with the rigor of computer science. This interdisciplinary approach helps you uncover patterns and insights often overlooked by traditional methods, giving you a perspective that reveals the past in new ways and shapes the future of computing and historical analysis.
-
Linguistics + Computer Science (Linguistics + CS)
Merge your passion for language with cutting-edge computer science skills. Through the Linguistics+CS program, you’ll be equipped to tackle complex linguistic questions with the latest computational tools.
