Introducing....

Hello everyone!

Congratulations on choosing the IDS program! I hope you get as much out of this degree as I have.

My name, as I am sure you have already read, is Amanda Anthony. I am a Senior at UCF (Go Knights!), and I am obviously in the IDS, or Interdisciplinary Studies Degree program. My 2 concentrations are Letters & Languages and Behavioral Sciences, and my Minor is in Judaic Studies. (In laymans terms I am interested in Linguistics, Anthropology, and Biblical Studies.)
My education/career goals are kind of unique I suppose, I say this because everyone tells me that. :) After I graduate UCF in December, I hope to be accepted to USF to obtain a degree in Library Science (To be a Librarian). After this I am hoping to attend Yale (Cross you fingers for me!) to obtain a PhD in Assyriology (which is, in short, the study of Mesopotamian cultures). If you have any questions please leave a comment and I will try to answer it asap!

To me the IDS degree is a godsend. I am able to narrow down the topics in which I am interested in and focus on the information that I feel will make me a well rounded student. I know that there are not that many degree programs that are tailored to my interests, however this one can be. As an IDS student I am able to choose what classes fit my interests. I think it is great that I can learn from so many varied students in this program and I have. I have worked with engineers, English majors, Philosophers, future politicians, and the list goes on.

I know I tend to be a little long winded so I will stop here for now. I look forward to your questions and insights! Again Congratulations on choosing the IDS degree!

Salut!
Amanda Anthony
