Academic Discipline

An academic discipline, also known as an academic subject, is a specialized subset of information that is studied at the postsecondary level (college and university). The academic journals in which research is published, as well as the learned societies and academic departments or faculties within colleges and universities to which their practitioners belong, are responsible for defining and recognizing the various fields of study that make up academia. Conventionally, academic fields are separated into the humanities, which include areas of study such as language, art, and cultural studies; the scientific fields, which include areas of study such as physics, chemistry, and biology; and the social sciences, which are occasionally considered to be a third group.
