<p>What is the average GPA for an interdisciplinary studies major? Also, if you are one, please share your experience, career goals?</p>
<p>Also, I'm planning on going to Medical school. On the website, it says this major is not recommended for students pursuing a science career, do you agree? </p>
<p>I would like to tailor my studies around a thematic concentration in global health, and possibly take courses at the school of public health.... *just thoughts right now</p>
<p>(I'm transferring in as a Junior in the Fall)</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I considered doing a custom major–Comparative Classics; however, decided against it. It was (and still is) my goal to gain a solid foundation on both the Western and Eastern traditions through studying the classic texts of each. I found that creating my own major–through Interdisciplinary Studies–wasn’t necessary. Typically, within your major, you have so many electives that often, it isn’t too difficult to get pretty in-depth in a particular subject outside your major. So, in the end, I chose Classics, but am still able to pursue my interest outside my specialty. </p>
<p>Also, you should STRONGLY consider getting your degree through the school of Global Health. I believe it is one of the top two in the country.</p>
<p>^Thanks for your advice! I’m actually very interested in global health, spec with infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV/aids, and mdrtb. I’ve also done a lot of research in that field. Do you know if I could attend the school of global health (public health) an undergrad? And, is there a separate application? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Like other colleges within the university (i.e. Arts and Sciences, Journalism and Communication, Education, etc.), Gillings is open to undergraduates. But, it looks like it does require a separate application: </p>

<p>I think I will apply once I complete my first semester at UNC. I appreciate your help! =)</p>
