Graduate and Continuing Education at Fitchburg State has a program for you!

In addition to undergraduate degrees in nursing, occupational education, and business, we offer a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies where you can select a primary program of study (a university-approved minor) along with one or two other areas of study, and then complete a capstone project that ties them all together.
