Defy Boundaries

The Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Clemson University prepares students to tackle the challenges of an evolving world. Our undergraduate programs in Global Black Studies, Women's Leadership, World Cinema as well as our doctoral program in Rhetorics, Communication and Information Design enable student research to expand beyond the confines of traditional academic fields. Our students build the critical thinking and communication skills necessary to succeed not only in today's workforce, but in tomorrow's.

    “The new department not only provides a much-needed home for our existing interdisciplinary programs, but it will serve as an incubator for future programs, and as a platform for faculty and students from across Clemson to meet, exchange ideas and engage in meaningful study and research.”
