How Many Courses at McGill Are 'Really' Interdisciplinary?

32873

- 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)


- The PhD degree might render one an expert in a specific field, but not in other areas: this is one of the problems of the modern education based on the Western model. Nowadays, It is hard to find a 'Renaissance Human' (i.e. Ibn Sīnā, Leonardo Da Vinci, Pascal, Leibniz, Einstein) who can combine different academic disciplines and different cultural heritages.
