INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS: Courses for Fall 2024

One of the benefits of a liberal arts education is discovering connections. At Sewanee, we value cross-disciplinary thinking, and certain programs are specifically shaped to highlight all the ways one might approach an intellectual construct. This page highlights the programs (and courses) that intentionally seek to promote connections.
