The Interdisciplinary Studies Program is open to all students. However, for students in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture or the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences many program prerequisites are also part of their degree and so they can complete requirements faster.

A vital part of the program is the required internship that gives students first-hand experience working in organic agricultural production or marketing.
