The purpose of this study was to figure out how interdisciplinary education is conducted in higher education organizations in terms of planning, implementation, outcome and evaluation. To achieve the purpose, professors involved in interdisciplinary programs were subject to questionnaire. The results indicated that informed interdisciplinary education was the most frequent type among four types of interdisciplinarity, which refers to borrowing elements from other disciplines. As well as, the informants lacked in experiences and epistemological basis for interdisciplinary education. Finally, support for interdisciplinary education from university and government was required by the practitioners.
