A brief selection of institutions that offer various kinds of integrative programs. This list is by no means complete, but intended to offer an introduction to various kinds of integrative programs. Integrative programs include multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary programs, as well as Area Studies, Women's Studies, Gender Studies, and other programs (these are often multidisciplinary programs). If you would like to know more about the differences between these various integrative models, you can go to the Design page of Deborah Vess's Course Portfolio, Explorations in Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning, and explore the section What is Interdisciplinarity? A Brief Survey of the Literature for a fuller description of the theoretical models referred to here.
