The Interdisciplinary Studies program is a true asset to Tennessee Tech, and I hope to see it continue to grow and be supported by the university. I'd like to hear more about COIS alumni and what they're doing now and to encourage them to stay connected and give back in support of the program and its current students.
This experience is amazing, and achieving professional career goals begins with this rather brief part of the journey. The foundation established through academic coursework at the College of Interdisciplinary Studies leads to a path that is rewarding and filled with meaningful accomplishment.

Interdisciplinary studies saved me from my indecisive freshman and sophomore years, letting me graduate with the credits I had in place. I recommend to anyone who had a drastic major change (or 6, like me) to investigate interdisciplinary studies!
One of the greatest strengths of an interdisciplinary background is adaptability. Developing a diverse skill set will allow you to take on new challenges, pivot when needed, and explore different career paths.
COIS Alum Hailey Loeffler
Excellent program. I was already working in technical education and wanted to tailor my degree to match my career. The staff seemed to know exactly what I wanted to do and worked with other colleges within the university to customize a degree that perfectly matched my educational needs.
Embrace the versatility of your degree! Interdisciplinary studies allow you to shape your education in a way that aligns with your passions.
