Cross-disciplinary studies can increase intellectual community across disciplines, encourage cohesion in the choice of electives, and promote combinations of methods and materials that challenge the boundaries of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>They involve at least three academic disciplines and require 18 to 24 credit-hours, at least eight (8) of which must be at the upper-division level.<\/p>\n<p>Cross-disciplinary studies include an integrative component such as a common course or requirement. At the discretion of the specific cross-disciplinary studies committee, students may complete the St. Mary\u2019s Project in the study area, provided they secure the approval of the department in which they are majoring. Completion of the course work in a cross-disciplinary study area is noted as a specific minor on a student\u2019s transcript.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-4-7\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-4-7\" ><div id=\"pgc-4-7-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-4-7-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_smcm-title panel-first-child\" data-index=\"19\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-smcm-title so-widget-smcm-title-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h2 class=\"smcm-section-title navy\" style=\"\">Courses <strong>Offered<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-4-7-0-1\" class=\"widget_text so-panel widget widget_custom_html panel-last-child\" data-index=\"20\" ><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><div class=\"smcm-ac-buttons\"><div class=\"smcm-accordion\"><div class=\"title-container\"><h3>Environmental Studies Courses<\/h3><i class=\"fa-solid fa-plus open-close\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"smcm-accordion-content\"><div class=\"smcm-ac-content-wrapper\"><ul class=\"acalog\" data-acalog-data=\"courses\" data-acalog-course-type=\"Environmental Studies\" data-acalog-catalog-type=\"Catalog\">Environmental Studies Courses><li><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- See Programs section on catalog.smcm.edu for fullDegreeName value --><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-4-8\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-4-8-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-4-8-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_smcm-button panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"21\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-smcm-button so-widget-smcm-button-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"smcm-cta-container\"><a class=\"smcm-cta-button navy\" style=\"max-width: 100%; width: 100%;\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/pub?key=0Akvdhs5bfON-dDl5dnlsZTZkSHJGYndnMlV5QjJsakE&amp;output=html\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-book-open-reader\"><\/i>Topics \/ Experimental Courses<i class=\"fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square\" style=\"color: #e9e9e9;\"><\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-4-8-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-4-8-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_smcm-button panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"22\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-smcm-button so-widget-smcm-button-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"smcm-cta-container\"><a class=\"smcm-cta-button navy\" style=\"max-width: 100%; width: 100%;\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/pub?key=0Akvdhs5bfON-dHJ4djRHaDd2Nmktcm9xYUlxOVg1M0E&amp;output=html\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-book-open-reader\"><\/i>Cross Disciplinary Studies Courses<i class=\"fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square\" style=\"color: #e9e9e9;\"><\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-4-9\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-4-9-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-4-9-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_smcm-title panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"23\" ><div id=\"honors-college-promise\" class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-4-9-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-smcm-title so-widget-smcm-title-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h2 class=\"smcm-section-title navy\" style=\"\">Honors College <strong>Promise<\/strong> <\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-4-10\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-4-10-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-4-10-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"24\" >\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p>Expand your learning beyond the classroom with opportunities like studying abroad, internships, hands-on classes, or independent research. These experiences help you see the bigger picture.<\/p>\n<p>At St. Mary&#8217;s College of Maryland, you&#8217;ll benefit from experienced professors, unlike at larger universities where teaching assistants may lead classes. You\u2019re more likely to have the same professor for multiple courses, work with them on your St. Mary\u2019s Project, or have them as your academic adviser.<\/p>\n<p>When you need letters of recommendation for jobs or grad school, you\u2019ll have professors who know you well and can write strong, detailed letters. This close relationship between faculty and students makes your experience at St. Mary\u2019s unique compared to larger schools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-4-10-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-4-10-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"25\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-4\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/188\/2025\/06\/35117818476_1284a32ef3_o-scaled.jpg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/188\/2025\/06\/35117818476_1284a32ef3_o-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/188\/2025\/06\/35117818476_1284a32ef3_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/188\/2025\/06\/35117818476_1284a32ef3_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/188\/2025\/06\/35117818476_1284a32ef3_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/188\/2025\/06\/35117818476_1284a32ef3_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/188\/2025\/06\/35117818476_1284a32ef3_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/188\/2025\/06\/35117818476_1284a32ef3_o-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" title=\"35117818476_1284a32ef3_o\" alt=\"A group of students sit on outdoor brick steps, smiling and watching a woman standing in front of them raising her hand as she speaks.
