Interdisciplinary Fields

The fields above marked with an asterisk (*) fall into two areas and are considered interdisciplinary fields. Though interdisciplinary degrees will include courses under more than one area, students must pursue fields in one primary area. The chosen area should reflect the student's methodological inclination and will have an impact on the selection of a proseminar, elective courses, and thesis topic.
