The technology-driven world in which we live is a world filled with promise but also challenges. Cars that drive themselves, machines that read X-rays, and algorithms that respond to customer-service inquiries are all manifestations of powerful new forms of automation. Yet even as these technologies increase productivity and improve our lives, their use will substitute for some work activities humans currently perform—a development that has sparked much public concern.

What this suggests is that a student may benefit more by developing their thinking, decision-making and communication skills through a broad education, instead of training in the technical skills required for a specific career path.

A Liberal Arts curriculum allows students to study a much larger range of subjects. The programs challenge you to think critically and incisively about ideas, people, society and the human condition.
Developing Interdisciplinary Effectiveness
Developing Interdisciplinary Effectiveness
A joke!
A mathematician, a biologist, and a physicist are sitting in a street café watching people going in and coming out of a house on the other side of the street. First they see two people going into the house. Time passes. After a while, they notice three people coming out.
The physicist says: "The measurement could be inaccurate."
The biologist says: "They could have reproduced."
The mathematician says: "If exactly one person enters the house now, then it will be empty again."
Every scientific discipline has its own jargon, which may lead to misunderstandings, even when people are actually talking about the same thing. You usually are able to develop a sense for it by osmosis, that is, simply by being exposed to different disciplines from an early stage in your training. As science has progressed over the last century, the questions it addresses have dramatically grown in complexity, making it more and more difficult to find a solution within a single discipline. Basic scientific knowledge fails to provide answers. Skepticism and prejudices often manifest themselves as a belief that there is only one "right" way to do things--simply because no other way is known.
Compared to the horizons of a mono-disciplinary trained person, the inter-disciplinary's horizons are broader, given that he or she has an insight into a range of disciplines. On the other hand, an interdisciplinary-trained person can of course hardly compete for specialist jobs with, let's say, a molecular biologist or a historian. There is also a niche at the boundaries where mediating skills are needed. Opportunities are clearly developing within academia, as judged by the increasing amount of funding interdisciplinary research fields.
Faculty from different disciplines work together to help students make the meaningful connections between different subject areas. We work with students to prepare them for careers in a world that demands creativity in analyzing problems, expertise in technology and an understanding of diverse perspectives. We will introduce them to various ways of thinking about the world we live in through our Nexus Capsules.
