Center for Interdisciplinary Studies

The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (CIS) serves as an umbrella for Webster University’s diverse inter-disciplinary programs. The Center’s primary mission is twofold: to promote, strengthen, and expand interdisciplinary learning opportunities for students and to provide a central location where students can get information about interdisciplinary courses, programs, and activities. It is located in Webster Hall, room 200I. For more information call the CIS, (314) 246-7703, or the College of Arts & Sciences, (314) 256-7160.

Webster University offers students the opportunity to study in areas that cut across disciplines by offering majors, minors, or certificates in Ancient Studies, Drama Studies, Environmental Studies, Ethics, European Studies, International Human Rights, International Studies, Latin American Studies, Multicultural Studies, and Women’s Studies. The CIS also offers an array of interdisciplinary courses unconnected to these programs and an opportunity for students to create a self designed interdisciplinary major.
