Bachelor in Interdisciplinary Studies
Have you dreamed of designing a major built around your unique goals and interests? An Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) major is an optimal choice for students who have a vision of what they want to accomplish and learn in college but feel that their plan may not fit cleanly into an existing academic major.
UW-Superior offers the oldest and most established interdisciplinary studies major program in the Universities of Wisconsin and is one of the largest majors by enrollment at UW-Superior due to the tailored experience it provides students.
Working closely with our IDS coordinator, you can design your plan of study from a variety of subjects, creating a custom program that fits your interests and goals. The interdisciplinary studies major is an optimal choice if you are seeking a degree or career preparation not offered at UWS or perhaps not anywhere. It can also be a great choice if you are a transfer student or have some college experience and are looking for the most efficient way to complete your degree. We also offer a customized minor.

Many students benefit from working part-time while going to college. Employment helps students finance their education and provides opportunities for them to gain experience and to develop skills for future success in the career world.
Federal College Work-Study is a need-based financial aid offer that allows a student to work and earn money. Work study is a dollar allotment provided as part of your financial aid offer, and not automatically applied to your account like other financial aid. Dollars are earned by the student employee and are paid on a bi-weekly basis via direct deposit. Employment through the federal work study program is not a guarantee and should not be relied on as a manner for covering a student’s bill. Any UW-Superior student with a work-study offer may apply for work-study jobs.
Student Assist is on-campus employment that is not a part of a financial aid offer. Any UW-Superior student who is enrolled at least half-time may apply for student assist jobs.
Part Time Off-Campus Jobs are posted by area employers who are seeking college students to work in their organizations.
