"Being able to take information you learned in courses and connecting it to information you are learning in another course. For interdisciplinary students it goes beyond that, connecting information from a course in one discipline to a course in a different discipline; connecting concepts, ideas, and knowledge."

Consider your overall experiences (life, academic,professional, etc.)when answer the following questions:How are you making connections across and between your areas of concentration and the real world? If you feel that your areas do not connect, why? Is there a possibility of connection? What could you do to make those connections?Think creatively...are there other ways tobring different disciplines,concepts,ideas and knowledgestogether?
