Objectives :
- to provide interdisciplinary insight into the theoretical foundations of and methodological approaches to knowledge in various disciplines in the arts & sciences;
- to allow students in a given concentration to consider the knowledge they acquire therein from the perspectives of other disciplines;
- to build skills in critical thinking and writing across the curriculum;
- to enhance the theoretical literacy and coherence of Honors Theses across the disciplines.
