the Interdisciplinary Studies master's Program at lesley university:  Breaking Boundaries, Beyond Conventions

"Pursue a graduate degree that pushes the limits of your learning--and sometimes, the limits of geography."
-Cynde Mcinnis, 2001

Lesley's Interdisciplinary Studies Master's program provides adults with busy life and work schedules an ideal way to earn an advanced degree that is customized to their specific interests.

The most motivated students are whose interests cross the borders of traditional academic disciplines to make new connections, to create new possibilities and perhaps even to pioneer new fields, professions, or areas of study that can change the way we see the world. Earn a graduate degree that is impressive and unique--because you designed it!

Develop your own Individually Designed Specialization by combining traditional and self designed courses from various disciplines. Or, choose to specialize in Women and Gender Studies or Integrative Holistic Health.

In this program, you will have the close collaboration and expert guidance of the faculty and the program office to help you develop and carry out an integrated study plan. Interdisciplinary Studies is a way to integrate various areas of study, such as art, management, education, and social sciences, into a customized program that meets your unique personal and professional goals. The program offers a 33 credit Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies.
