Psychology

If you enjoy helping people, then you should consider psychology. This is a field that studies the brain and how it works. A common career path you go into is to become a mental health advocate, and you can help people who suffer cope with their illness.

International studies

Like foreign languages and cultures? Then international studies is for you! This is a career path that can range anywhere from working with a non-profit organization, to working in foreign affairs. You will most likely have to specialize in a language when you go this route, which then opens new doors to translation as a career. After this, you can go on to study international law, international business, foreign diplomacy, or public health.

Writing

Writers do not necessarily need degrees in journalism and English. An interdisciplinary degree will require you to study numerous different skills and subjects, so potential companies will be able to notice your skill set in more than just writing. Considering the fact that social media and digital marketing is a growing trend, you may be able to get a job in that field as it encompasses everything an interdisciplinary degree offers.

Law

Not many colleges offer pre-law courses, and if they do, it is very similar to an interdisciplinary degree. Good lawyers need to have a steady background in both English and history, and then require specialization with a masters degree.

These are just four options that can come with an interdisciplinary degree. The career path options truly do vary and range, so if you have any questions make sure to call a career counselor today.
