Interdisciplinary and/or integrated courses

Interdisciplinary and/or integrated programs may be used to satisfy one or several of the subject requirements. For example, an integrated Humanities program may be used to satisfy part of the "a," part of the "b," and part of the elective requirements. When these interdisciplinary / integrated courses are submitted for review and certification, please indicate clearly which subject area requirements are satisfied by the course.

We understand that many schools are guided by reform initiatives that encourage the integration of academic and career-related content to form courses that are both rigorous and relevant. These rigorous applied academic courses may be approved by UC if teachers focus on the academic content, using the career-related content as an application and extension of the core knowledge taught in the academic area.

As noted above in the detailed description of the "elective" requirement, interdisciplinary electives are also acceptable.
