Interdisciplinary Programs?

[coyabean]

Are there any Interdisciplinary folks lurking about? The bulk of my focus is on anthro programs but I also have two Interdisciplinary programs on the list.

Anyone with any experience with them? How are you approaching your SOP differently? Worried about getting a job?

I have USC's ASE and WashU's American Culture Studies on the list.

My research is interdisciplinary. Mostly anthro of religion, I guess, since my MA was based on a ethnography, and have that planned for PhD too.

I did my MA in Religious Studies, and I am applying solely to Reli Stud. programs. I like the discipline, it's flexible, and the job market is good.

I did give considerable thought to programs such as Cultural Studies, American Studies, etc, but the app is a whole different ball game.
