The Center for Interdisciplinary and Area Studies houses majors and minors in a number of interdisciplinary fields and area studies. These include Africana Studies, Asian Studies, Canadian Studies, Food and Farming, Jewish Studies, Latin American Studies, Legal Studies and Quebec Studies. The Center also offers courses in Religious Studies. Additionally, the Center offers a major in Individualized Studies. The major in Individualized Studies is designed for students whose academic interests are cross-disciplinary, do not fit within traditional disciplines, or whose career and professional goals cannot be met by existing programs at Plattsburgh.  With the help of a faculty advisor, this option allows students to design a major degree program that meets their needs and interests.
