Abstract
The universe constantly faces complex issues which require the interdisciplinary approaches. This challenge has gained increasing significance from 20th century due to the development of globalization, the weaknesses of traditional Study and research approaches, the advances by information technology, the major paradigmatic changes and the higher expectations from science. Interdisciplinary scholarship is considered as an effective solution to these emerging conditions and issues. Scholarship is a complex, integrative, and interrelated phenomenon. Today the concept of scholarship is typically used as a paradigm in higher education. Scholarship indicates to a search for relationships, bridging the theory-practice gap, and choosing the necessary knowledge for students. The present study that explains the implications scholarship with the aim of developing a theory for interdisciplinary studies in higher education employs a descriptive/analytic method. According to the results, interdisciplinary scholarship could be applied as a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding knowledge. The scholarship framework provides the students with chances for knowing and appreciating other disciplines. Creating an interdisciplinary atmosphere in universities requires fundamental changes in higher education especially the recruitment, promotion, and reward system for the academics.
