Solutions to today's complex problems require successful collaboration across disciplines. CGU Created the Transdisciplinary Studies Program to help students:
- Draw upon the ideas and methods of multiple disciplines.
- Create new, integrative, and transformative solutions.
- Solve today's complex problems.
Four ways to get connected to transdisciplinary people, projects and scholarship.
Letter from the Interim Director:
"Transdisciplinarity is the intellectual signature of CGU"
We recognize the global demand for our graduates to think across disciplines and other knowledge boundaries. We acknowledge the growing expectation for flexible thinkers and problem solvers who have skills that transfer readily across academic disciplines as well as across sectors of employment.
Transdisciplinarity is a way of thinking and doing. Researchers must be free to follow a problem across disciplinary boundaries; they must be open to collaboration and innovation, drawing on the concepts and methods of other disciplines and creating new approaches to problems; and they must always ask how their creation of knowledge impacts our understanding of humanity's most thorny problems.
