True interdisciplinarity, such as that found in Fairleigh Dickinson’s University Core
program, does not reject the disciplines, as an adisciplinist approach might, or search for a super-
or meta-discipline, as a transdisciplinst approach might. The University Core program general
avoids presenting the contributions of disciplines sequentially as independent contributions,
without any attempt at combination or synthesis, as a multidisciplinary approach would. For these
distinctions, see William H. Newell and William J. Green, “Defining and Teaching
Interdisciplinary Studies,” in Interdisciplinarity: Essays from the Literature (New York: College
Entrance Examining Board, 1998), pp.24-25.
