Empowering Passion & Purpose: Multidisciplinary Learning

Some students dream bigger than a single major—they see possibilities across multiple fields, shaping their education to fit their passions. Multidisciplinary studies attract top talent, future innovators, and creative thinkers. Investing in these programs fuels the next generation of leaders who refuse to be put in a box.

Your generosity fuels these dreams, lifts students in need, and shapes the future of Ole Miss.
