Developing cross-disciplinary problem-solvers

Employers tell us they value people who can connect knowledge from different fields to solve problems. Our careers education helps students do just that. For example, applying data science to public health or exploring how law intersects with emerging technology equips them to tackle complex, real-world challenges from multiple perspectives.
