(42 credits minimum)
Students eligible for conditional admission to the Multidisciplinary Studies major include all new freshmen admitted unconditionally to the University, as well as transfer students and continuing students who have earned a cumulative grade point average of no less than 2.50 in all prior undergraduate course work. Full admission to the major follows selection of a Coordinated Program of Study (CPS) from those offered in the major and available on the MST web site, or design of an Individualized Program of Study (IPS) and approval by the Multidisciplinary Studies faculty. The CPS or IPS must be submitted to the intake advisor for Multidisciplinary Studies at the time of conditional admission, and no later than October 1 and March 1 for fall and spring semester respectively. Students who have earned more than 78 hours, whether at ISU or through transfer, cannot declare a Multidisciplinary Studies major.

The Gender Studies Program at Indiana State University is an interdisciplinary field of study. The Program promotes a critical, feminist, and cross-cultural understanding of structural inequalities in a local and global context from historical and contemporary perspectives. Students explore the intersections of gender, sexuality, social class, nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, age, and ability. The Program seeks to understand and address how the contributions and experiences of women and other marginalized groups are devalued. Therefore, the Gender Studies Program is active in facilitating and supporting a variety of activities and events concerned with social justice.
This will be a coordinated program of study within the Multidisciplinary Studies major.
