The MindMap of Academic Disciplines, Professions / Applied sciences is an image-centered diagram that represents connections between branches of knowledge (Agriculture, Business, Design, Education, Engineering, Ergonomics, Family and consumer science, Forestry, Health sciences, Journalism and mass communications, Law, Library and information science, Military science, Public affairs and community service)  which is formally taught, either at the university, or via some other such method. Functionally, disciplines are usually defined and recognized by the academic journals in which research is published, and the learned societies to which their practitioners belong.

Most academic departments are organized around an academic discipline. Some departments contain more than one discipline (the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, for example). Keep moving forward with a degree online. Earn your bachelor’s, master’s or Ph.D. from an online accredited university.
