Overview
We are committed to training specialists. Along with interdisciplinary coursework, students select courses from the cross-disciplinary areas of Past Worlds, Social and Spatial Dynamics, or Expressive and Imaginative Works. IHGG faculty are trained in disciplines and are equipped to prepare students for jobs in their fields. IHGG students work as teaching assistants for disciplinary undergraduate majors in Anthropology, English, Global Arts, History and Spanish.
The Interdisciplinary Humanities Program adopts the University of California, Merced guiding principle of “The World at Home/At Home in the World” as its signature focus. Our location in Merced inspires this programmatic concentration, which guides and structures the IHGG curriculum and mission in two ways.
