1. McGill offers degrees and diplomas in over 300 fields of study. But how many courses are 'really' interdisciplinary? (i.e. combining natural science & humanities, Eastern & Western approaches, and humanist & anti-humanist traditions)


2. What do you think is the core component of 'interdisciplinary education'? 


3. If you were a principal of McGill, how would you change the current education system? (You don't necessarily have to change, if you think status quo is okay.)

I.e. Brown University's open curriculum encourages maximum flexibility in each student’s course of study. There are no core requirements at Brown and it does not calculate your GPA or class ranking.
