Arts and Sciences Interdisciplinary Minor with Honors 

The arts and sciences interdisciplinary minor with honors provides students, especially those preparing for careers in business, with an opportunity to deepen their humanistic, social, or scientific knowledge as part of their preparation for life.

According to the intellectual direction that the student wishes to pursue, the thesis may be written either within a single discipline and continued under the appropriate disciplinary title (such as Art, English, or History), or as an interdisciplinary effort ( IDC 6001H/ IDC 6002H

Prerequisites 
The thesis topic must be approved by the Undergraduate Committee on Honors. Students should complete the honors thesis application form as well as a two-page prospectus. 

Feit Interdisciplinary Humanities Seminars 

Feit Seminars ( IDC 4050H), endowed by the late Charles Feit ('48), bring together two or more instructors from different departments in the college and a small select group of students.
