"description": "<p>The Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies program allows students the flexibility to develop an individually tailored plan of study using courses traditionally associated with a Master of Science (Engineering, Life and Physical Sciences, Biomedical, etc.). This track can combine a variety of concentrations and culminates in either a capstone experience or research thesis, depending on the student's goals.</p> <br /> <p>The Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies is an excellent program for a variety of twenty-first century endeavors. By combining the knowledge from at least two disciplines, supported by cross-disciplinary electives, students precisely define their own area of expertise. This unique option is ideal for students who have varied interests that can be connected by a common theme or goal.</p> <br /> <p>The Nonthesis Option culminates in a capstone experience that prepares students for applied, non-research oriented careers.</p> <br /> <p>The Thesis Option culminates in a scholarly publication that includes original research undertaken during students' graduate program. This provides excellent preparation for the future pursuit of a doctoral degree or research-oriented career.</p> <br /><p>The Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies may be completed fully online, and newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.</p>",

Some examples of project types include: writing a grant proposal for an agency, program evaluation and recommendations, or a "best practices" literature review in a particular area. Students must choose three advisers for the project, one from each concentration area and one from any supporting discipline. The project will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. Students who feel an internship will best support their plan of study and professional goals will enroll in IDS 5949 Co-op Interdisciplinary Study (0 credits) and IDS 6949 Co-op Interdisciplinary Study (3 credits) after locating an acceptable internship host site, with the approval of the program. The internship is graded on a pass/fail basis. IDS 6949 is taken as one of the open electives and does not increase the number of total credits required to graduate. The written examination will entail the selection of an exam committee of three faculty who will formulate questions to address the student's focus areas. The student will have 48 hours to choose 2 of the 3 questions and complete the take-home exam. The exam should be completed in the student’s final semester of enrollment. The exam will be graded on a pass/fail basis. If the student does not pass both questions with a 70% or higher, the student will have two additional chances to retake the exam with new questions. The exam can be taken only once per semester. If the student must retake the exam a third semester, the student must enroll in 1 credit of IDS 6999 Graduation Requirement to remain active in the program.</div></div></li></ul></li></div></ul></li></ul></div></div></section><section><header data-test=\"grouping-3-header\"><div><h2 data-testid=\"grouping-label\"><span>Independent Learning</span></h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>The program is designed to provide numerous independent learning opportunities.
