The Division of Interdisciplinary Programs (DIP) provides an institutional and intellectual space which facilitates faculty and student collaboration across disciplines within the College and with other University of Iowa colleges, units, and programs. The innovative programs within the Division offer experiential learning opportunities that allow students to actively apply knowledge gained in the classroom to local, regional, national and international real-world settings. From Global Health Studies to Latina/x/o Studies, DIP Programs prepare students for life and careers in the 21st century by providing opportunities for critical engagement with the liberal arts.  Students develop skills required to become effective communicators and creative problem-solvers, as well as the desire to contribute to positive social change in the diverse local and global communities.

C4I seeks to become an international leader in the facilitation of interdisciplinary scholarship. We aim to develop relationships with funding sources that enable us to support projects on campus and in our community through grants and mentorship programs. We seek to create cutting-edge research and teaching opportunities by connecting researchers from disparate fields and locations at MSU and beyond. Through a combination of technologies, we will provide interdisciplinary researchers at MSU with information resources, venues for promoting their work, and access to funding, conference, and training opportunities. We will shape graduate education for interdisciplinary scholars, working with community partners to address complex problems. Finally, we will advocate for faculty in conversations about infrastructural issues, tenure and promotion, interdisciplinary scholarship, and careers outside of academia.

The University of Arizona's Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs (GIDPs) transcend departmental boundaries by facilitating cutting edge teaching and research where traditional disciplines interface. The fusion of ideas, techniques, and expertise from the traditional academic fields provides for the evolution of modern and imaginative methods of research, and the creation of new fields of endeavor. The founding directors of the GIDP recognized this cannot effectively be conducted within traditional disciplinary boundaries more than 55 years ago and through their efforts a standard of a broader range of research and training was established and have endured at The University of Arizona. The collaborative relationship between colleges across campus and the 19 GIDPs creates unique opportunities for students to pursue and realize their aspirations in new research bringing about change serving the community and the world.

The high value placed on interdisciplinary research and education is one of the ways that The University of Arizona is fostering innovation and creativity among its faculty and students. The Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs are an integral part of the Mission Statement of The University of Arizona, and student enthusiasm for the programs is one of their strongest characteristics.
