The Department of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences has its own designated full-time faculty. This faculty, consisting of members from various disciplines, has a particular expertise in the Study of the Americas. Faculty members from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the uptown campus and other expert professionals are also invited to teach courses in their areas of specialization.
