CIS

CIS provides administrative oversight and support for the Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Studies program within the School of Arts and Sciences, which is designed for students who wish to craft a major that incorporates at least three different departments or programs. CIS also oversees the senior thesis program for undergraduate students who wish to pursue a thesis in an area that crosses disciplines... We are a home for the study of how people learn and how to help people learn. Much of our work focuses on K-12 schools, but we study education in other contexts as well, including museums and universities. Many of our students are preparing to work in schools, as teachers or as school psychologists; some are preparing for careers in museums; and some for careers in education research. Thus, we prepare prospective educators for professional practice in varied contexts, such as in teachers' exploration and assessment of their students' ideas and reasoning, in school psychologists'..
