The Accreditation Criteria for Interdisciplinary Studies in General Education published in 2000 is a report by a task force commissioned by the Association for Integrative Studies in response to a request from the Association of American Colleges and Universities. The report, which deals only with undergraduate interdisciplinary education, classifies the criteria into five categories: goals, curriculum evaluation, teaching and learning, the role of faculty and administration. The major issue addressed in the report is how to achieve coherence (i.e., connecting and integrating knowledge, languages and methodologies across disciplines). In the future, it is planned to establish criteria for interdisciplinary studies in graduate education.
