Program Mission Statement: The B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies program consists of general education, a core curriculum, and three minors. General education provides a broad foundation of study, upon which the IS core expands. The core helps students become effective critical thinkers who understand that information and skills from multiple disciplines can interrelated meaningfully and usefully. The core responds directly to calls by American corporate leaders for graduates who understand both technology and human behavior. To that end, students choose from courses in aviation and aerospace, communication, the humanities, international studies, philosophy and ethics, psychology, and business. In the capstone experience, students choose either a thesis or a cooperative education experience. The element of choice in the program allows students to develop their own degree programs, by building on their individual strengths and interests. Depending on their interests, students can prepare for careers in aviation and aerospace and related fields, business, the military, graduate studies, or law school. The IS program seeks to graduate students with an entrepreneurial spirit who will cross boundaries, make creative connections, be flexible in a changing career environment, and become leaders in aviation and aerospace.

Assessment of these skills MUST include statistical foundations and applications, problem-solving skills at the advanced level and appropriate subject matter foundations.

Program Outcomes

1. Demonstrate mastery of seminal knowledge, foundational skills, and modern technology and tools in one or more aviation disciplines (safety management, human factors, aviation operations, and aviation training and education).
2. Pose and solve theory-based and research-based problems designed to advance applications in the field of aviation.
3. Extend the aviation body of knowledge by conceiving, planning, producing, and communicating original research.
4. Apply expertise in instructional processes.
5. Demonstrate leadership, collaboration, and communication necessary for scholarly work in aviation.

Program Assessment Measures Employed

Direct Assessment Measures

• Student work in select course activities (assignments, research projects, exams)
• Student work in dissertations
• Rubric-scored portfolio assessment
• Other: Qualifying exam

Indirect Assessment Measures

• End of course evaluations
• Student surveys
• Graduating student surveys
• Alumni surveys
• Other: Research publications by students and alumni

Graduation Rates

• Cohort 1 (Jan 2010 – Jan 2017): 50%
• Cohort 2 (Sep 2010 – Sep 2017): 81.25%
• Cohort 3 (Sep 2011 – Sep 2018): 42.86%

Rates and Types of Employment of Graduates

Employment Rates

NOTE:

1. The effective placement rate consists of the employment rate (i.e., working at this time) plus the continuing education rate (i.e., out of the work force due to continuing education).

2. Programs with too few respondents are not listed

3. A significant change to the survey instructions was implemented beginning with the Class of 2017: Degree completion dates were piped into the survey, and respondents asked to provide their employment status exactly one-year post-graduation. This change allows for more accurate calculation of one-year placement and employment rates. Exercise caution when making cohort comparisons.

4. A significant change to the University's rate calculations was implemented with the Class of 2017. Previously removed, alumni indicating “out of the workforce due to other reasons” are now included in all calculations and are labeled as “Not Seeking.” This change aligns the University's placement and employment rates with the standards proposed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). This new calculation will necessarily result in lower rates than the previous formula, but ERAU rates will be more comparable to those reported by institutions adhering to the NACE standards.

Program Mission Statement: The Interdisciplinary Studies program consists of core requirements and three minors. The core requirements in this program help make our students worldly thinkers who understand that information and skills gleaned from one area of life can be applied to other areas. The program's core requirements respond directly to calls by American corporate leaders for graduates who understand both technology and human behavior. To that end, students choose from courses in the humanities, geography, international studies, philosophy and ethics, and psychology. The core prepares students to connect their three minor fields of study meaningfully and usefully. In the capstone experience, the student chooses a directed study or a co-op in industry. By combining three minors, students design their own degree programs. Such combinations as security or air traffic control/psychology/safety or space studies/computer science/psychology offer combinations of fields that the aerospace industry should find useful. Minors in secondary education, humanities, and mathematics can lead to employment within the industry.

NOTE:
1. The effective placement rate consists of the employment rate (working at this time) plus the continuing education rate (out of the work force due to continuing education).

2. Programs with too few respondents are not listed

3. A significant change to the survey instructions was implemented beginning with the Class of 2016-17: Degree completion dates were piped into the survey, and respondents asked to provide their employment status exactly one year post-graduation. This change  allows for more accurate calculation of one year placement and employment rates.  Exercise caution when making cohort comparisons.

4. A significant change to the University's rate calculations was implemented with the Class of 2016-17. Previously removed, alumni indicating “out of the workforce due to other reasons” are now included in all calculations and are labeled as “Not Seeking.” This change aligns the University's placement and employment rates with the standards proposed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). This new calculation will necessarily result in lower rates than the previous formula, but ERAU rates will be more comparable to those reported by institutions adhering to the NACE standards.
