Interdisciplinary Studies - Career Opportunities

We are proud that our graduates have established an enviable track record of success in pursing and achieving their educational and professional goals.

Graduates of the B.A. Interdisciplinary Studies program have the opportunity to pursue a number of career paths in a variety of settings. Our alumni tell us that they gained many valuable skills as part of their academic preparation at SUNY Poly, including public speaking, leadership, research, customer service, project management, strategic planning, teamwork, training, social media, community outreach, sales and more.

Our program, with its emphasis on providing students with an integrative, interdisciplinary education, provides excellent preparation for graduate study in a range of fields. IDS students have continued their education at some of the top-ranked graduate and professional programs in the nation. Our students' graduate school placement rate is exceptional: over 90% of our students who have pursued graduate study has been accepted in a graduate program of their preference.

The same qualities that make our graduates so successful at advanced study such as, adaptability, flexibility, and understanding and approaching complex issues from different perspectives, also prepare them for successful careers.
