Multidisciplinary Studies
How will I focus my studies?
Your focus is up to you. With minors offered in all colleges of the University, you can design a course of study to fit your needs and goals. Develop your own degree that is unique to you and will help you develop the skills needed to find the career you want.Stephen Scott, Shepherdstown, W.Va.

MDS alumnus and current WVU College of Law student Stephen Scott reflects on the
individualized nature of his MDS degree. “Multidisciplinary studies allowed me
to create a personalized degree plan to take advantage of the academic disciplines
available at WVU. My academic background has given me the chance to apply what
I learned in the classroom to real-world decision making situations—especially
my leadership concentration.”The choices are limitless in the MDS program. “The
most important thing I learned during my time in Eberly is that I am the only one
who can limit myself. Eberly offers so many different opportunities—from study
abroad programs and internships to scholarships and a range of diverse courses—that
you have plenty of things to explore,” Stephen said.
