<p>Hate to be a wet blanket, but...</p>
<p>The program sounds fantastic; like other posters I wish i could take it.</p>
<p>But many years ago my brother was in an interdisciplinary program in its early stage (James Madison College at Micgigan State). The program featured mainly a combination of psychology, sociology, literature and political science courses. The diploma read that he had received a BA with a major in James Madison College, or something like that.</p>
<p>Reaction of most prospepctive employers and graduate schools: what the heck is that supposed to mean? What did you take in college?</p>
<p>OK, that was back in the time when a college degree was sufficient qualification for a lot of jobs. And now James Madison is said to be a known prestigious program in the Midwest. Some interdisciplinary programs, well constructed, really make a lot of sense. But some look like just someone's idea of an academic dilettante's good time.</p>
