If your interests just can’t be boxed into just one discipline, one of these programs might be a perfect fit.
"The thing I love the most about the interdisciplinary programs is that you will always be surprised by the cool things people can do by combining the two seemingly unrelated fields."

Interdisciplinary Programs
This university thrives where disciplines collide, pushing boundaries and making important discoveries in the intersections between arts and sciences, data and ideas, expertise and exploration. So it’s no surprise that several of our programs just can’t be confined to one department. Instead, they exist as interdepartmental programs, spanning two or more areas within the college, and uniting their strengths to prepare students for the world beyond Carnegie Mellon.
