Easing the Uncertainty: How an Interdisciplinary Learning-Living Program Helped Undeclared Students Make Academic and Vocational Choices
McCray, Marissa L.
Issues in Interdisciplinary Studies, v39 n1-2 p133-154 Spr-Fall 2021
This article presents case study findings about undeclared student experiences in a two-and-a-half-year interdisciplinary learning-living program that integrates the arts, humanities, and social science disciplines. The study examined how the program helped students make informed decisions about academic majors and vocational choices. Participants were a cohort of juniors who had begun the program as first-year undeclared (non-major) students, and who were interviewed one month after program completion. Findings revealed the program developed students' recognition of curricular connections and thereby positioned undeclared students for increased academic and vocational clarity. Findings also revealed the program contributed to participants' overall student development resulting from engagement in a tight-knit, intellectual learning-living community.
