Interdisciplinary Concentration

To meet the needs of students with special career or educational goals in mind, students may select other directed electives offered by IESA or a related program.

Generally, students who select this interdisciplinary focus have multiple interests and combine significant coursework from related focus areas to create a customized plan of study to meet a career path or prerequisites for a graduate degree program. Students wishing to pursue an interdisciplinary focus must schedule an advising appointment with either Dr. Jamie Mitchem or Dr. Katayoun Mobasher to develop a customized plan of study.

Any courses taken outside of IESA program offerings at the 3000-4000 level must be approved by IESA Director, Dr. Jeff Turk, at least two semesters prior to graduation. Advisors will forward student requests for an interdisciplinary plan of study to the director for approval.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
