College of Transdisciplinary Studies

The TSU College of Transdisciplinary Studies provides students with the opportunity to engage in transdisciplinary studies, offering a range of degree programs that align with critical local, national, and global workforce demands. TSU launched the state’s first College of Transdisciplinary Studies, offering eight bachelor’s and four master’s degrees spanning multiple areas, from energy and IT to business, the arts, and educational leadership.

The degree programs are designed for students whose academic interests are broad and transdisciplinary and whose career interests require diverse exposure. These non-traditional programs give students and their academic advisors the opportunity to create their own path, integrating valued workplace standards, experience, and past academic work.
