    The required Gateway Seminar in the Interdisciplinary Studies program surveys the history of disciplines as they are studied in colleges and universities. These disciplines, psychology, religious studies, fine arts, etc., traditionally constitute what becomes a student's major and minor degree program. From that vantage point, the Gateway Seminar then turns to study the various disciplines as they are constituted at Naropa. With this background, students then choose their INTD mentors and create their Learning Agreement, which is the template for their own program in Interdisciplinary Studies. This approach ensures that students bring an informed and educated perspective to their unique focus. Open to INTD majors only. This course is a prerequisite to INTD program of studies.

    This course aims to foster INTD research methods by providing students with skills necessary for work in their chosen areas of study, through a critical comparative examination of the practices, protocols, theories and methods of disciplinary education as these have developed intellectually and institutionally over the past several centuries. In systematically comparing the methods and rhetorical strategies of different disciplines, and focusing upon the history of modern educational practices, the course develops critical thinking and research skills essential to laying a foundation for work during the subsequent thesis-writing semester. At the same time, the seminar fosters the community-building work of Interdisciplinary Studies as a contemplative forum for the discussion of broad academic issues confronting university education today.
