If you are not familiar with the BDPs, their programs offer undergraduates at UT the opportunity to pursue an interdisciplinary certificate. The certificates complement students’ majors and integrate general education requirements with internships and research experience. Students choose from one of fifteen different interdisciplinary themes, such as Children & Society; Environment & Sustainability; Ethics & Leadership in Health Care; Museum Studies; and Public Policy. You can view a list of all topics, as well as more information about their programs, on their website.
