Center for Interdisciplinary Studies

The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies provides a home for undergraduate and graduate programs affiliated with the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Recognizing the value of interdisciplinary study to uncover the deepest understanding of a topic, the center promotes and facilitates interdisciplinary research and collaboration.

For 2020, the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies has launched The 1619 Project @ Rowan, a university-wide project of student, faculty and staff to explore the impact and legacies of the 400th anniversary of slavery in the United States.

The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies is hosting the COVID Interdisciplinary project an endeavor to engage and promote research and programming on COVID-19 and its impact, locally and beyond. Read more here.
