Interdisciplinary Majors

In addition to the standard and honor track options, two interdisciplinary majors are available at Rutgers - New Brunswick/Piscataway. Students electing one of these majors should consult with the mathematics department and the allied department early and continually to make sure they are making appropriate progress towards the degree.
