Abstract

Multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity are intrinsic elements in numerous undergraduate new courses in Brazil, which challenge educators with traditional training in specific areas. This case study on the bachelor degree in international relations (BRI) of the University of São Paulo (USP) can illustrate the problems faced by faculty and coordinators for an interdisciplinary integration. The BRI degree expects the students to combine compulsory credits of basic theoretical areas with a second part of elegible disciplines to be chosen among a wide range within the basic areas and other possibilities. The article evaluates the degree of interdisciplinarity of the course applying text mining to the disciplines syllabi. The results show that: a) basic and optional training subjects are little interconnected, although they have evolved over time; and b) the chosen elegible disciplines are very adherent to those of the basic theoretical areas. There is in fact a modest degree of interdisciplinarity, revealing the difficulty of consolidating the course’s proposal.
