Bridging Disciplines Program (BDP)

A BDP is an interdisciplinary certificate program that ties together the student's major, electives, and general education requirements.

"The Environment" is being offered as one of the first BDP options. It will give students the opportunity to explore a variety of disciplinary approaches to environmental processes and contemporary environmental issues. By bringing together courses in Natural Science, Social Science, and the Humanities, this program allows students a complex understanding of how the diverse parts of earth's environment interact, as well as how human cultures understand and impact the environment.

Through the Connecting Experiences component of the BDP, students will have access to an array of internships in conservation and outreach, as well as opportunities to participate in interdisciplinary research through UT's new Environmental Science Institute.
