The times demand a new way of looking at the world. Globalization. Energy policy. The right to privacy. Understanding complex, real-world issues like these and many others today requires more than the expertise from a single discipline. Solutions to pressing problems and innovations that spur progress can only come from a perspective that is uniquely interdisciplinary.
The Dedman College Interdisciplinary Institute (DCII) is a response to this need for a new way of looking at the world, one that embraces the insights gleaned from the humanities, the sciences, the social sciences, business and the professions. The Institute brings together experts and activists from diverse fields to share and create knowledge.
The Institute sponsors Faculty Academic Programs, Undergraduate Research Programs, and Community Lectures. We invite you to join us for an
upcoming event.
The DCII reaches out through its programs to the rest of the University and to the local community, creating a culture of interdisciplinary inquiry and bridging the physical sciences and the humanities, the liberal arts and the professional schools, and academia and the broader community.
