List of academic disciplines |
This is a list of academic disciplines (and academic fields). An academic discipline is a
branch of knowledge which is formally taught, either at the university, or via some other such method.
Functionally, disciplines are usually defined and recognised by the academic journals in which research is published, and the learned societies to which their practitioners belong.
Each discipline usually has several sub-disciplines and distinguishing lines are often both arbitrary and ambiguous.
A "*" denotes a field whose academic status is debated.
