--- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT INTERDISCIPLINARY (ID) COURSES

Q. What are Interdisciplinary (ID) courses? A. In Interdisciplinary (ID) courses, the approach to the subject matter is not limited by the perspective of one academic discipline. For example, in ID 1300 Introduction to Women’s Studies, issues related to women are explored from a variety of perspectives.

Q. Which ID courses can be used to fulfill GE Requirements? A. There are six ID courses on the list of Approved GE Distribution courses. These ID courses can be used to fulfill GE Distribution requirements in the areas indicated below:

ID Course GE Distribution Area ID 1010 Leisure & Recreation in a Multicultural Society Health & Phys Ed ID 1225 Critical Values & Issues of Contemporary Health Health & Phys Ed ID 1300 Introduction to Women’s Studies Humanities ID 1400 Technology & Information Systems in Modern Society Science & Mathematics ID 2415 Group Communication Social Sciences ID 3230 Understanding Images Humanities

Note: An ID course can only be used in the GE Distribution area for which it was approved. For example, ID 1225 can be used only to fulfill a GEHPE (Health & Phys Ed) requirement; it cannot be used to fulfill a Humanities, Social Sciences, or Science & Mathematics requirement.

Q. Does Kean offer any other ID courses? A. Yes. The University offers dozens of other ID courses, but none of these other ID courses can be used to fulfill GE requirements.

Q. Does the GE Program administer or coordinate any ID courses? A. No. Therefore, the GE Program cannot give overloads, handle grade grievances, etc. for any of these courses.
