<p>Hi, I'm a newly admitted student to UCLA and am interested in applying for a place in the honors program. I have a few questions about the essay for any UCLA honors student or alumni.</p>
<p>When it says an interdisciplinary project, does it have to be one that has parts of it already in existence or can it be any subject that interests us? For example, I'd like to study a program about E-books, even though there are currently no universities that offer courses on them.</p>
<p>Furthermore the term interdisciplinary, how specific does it have to be? I have read about the freshman clusters and the general education requirements and am a bit uncertain about what is considered interdisciplinary. On the general education site there are the three foundations: Arts & Humanities, Society & Culture, Scientific Inquiry. Does interdisciplinary mean a project that combines two or more of these? However in any one foundation there are sub-categories such as Physical and Life Sciences, or Social and Historical Analysis. Are these considered the disciplines?</p>
<p>If you can kindly clear up my uncertainties, it would be much appreciated.</p>
