Abstract

The topic of interdisciplinary career paths is highly relevant for stakeholders within the university as well as outside of academia. Interdisciplinary career paths can be understood on multiple levels and from multiple perspectives (undergraduate and graduate degree recipients, faculty behavior, curriculum design, industry engagement, etc.). Regardless of the level or perspective, the topic is important for the design, delivery, and assessment of academic work. This chapter examines the topic of interdisciplinary career paths. First, definitions are outlined for key terms including career, career adaptability, and career resilience. Then, a review of existing literature is provided with a focus on three areas: interdisciplinarity and academic faculty careers; interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate degree programs and careers; and institutions and interdisciplinary careers. The entry concludes with a summary overview, future directions for research, and implications for practice.
