Does the institution's treatment of interdisciplinary research meet the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description or a copy of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:
One of the seven Strategic Directions identified in Oberlin College's Strategic Plan is to strengthen the educational experience. One strategy is to "support curricular collaboration among the College, the Conservatory, and the Allen Memorial Art Museum to encourage innovative and exciting curricular offerings that only Oberlin can offer." Disciplinary and interdisciplinary research is valued equally in tenure and promotion, as well as in all applications for research support and curriculum development support. The college has a number of interdisciplinary programs that have equal standing as departments, and within traditional disciplines, much research is interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary.
