The term "interdisciplinary" is an increasingly popular buzzword within higher education, yet varying interpretations of what constitutes interdisciplinary learning can dilute its meaning and potency. The Integrative Studies program at Kennesaw State University has participated in this dilution by offering an Integrative Studies degree that closely resembles a general studies, degree-completion curriculum. This article focuses on the first step of curricular overhaul, as I document the process of transitioning an introductory course from a general studies to an interdisciplinary studies approach to learning, including a discussion of qualitative data from students on how the course (post-intervention) now helps develop their interdisciplinary thinking skills.
