An '''[[academic discipline]]''', or '''field of study''', is a branch of [[knowledge]] that is [[teaching|taught]] and [[research]]ed at the college or university level. Disciplines are defined (in part), and recognized by the [[academic journal]]s in which research is published, and the [[learned society|learned societies]] and [[academia|academic]] departments or faculties to which their practitioners belong.

However, there exists no formal criteria for when educational programs and scholarly journals form an academic discipline. There is a huge difference between, on the one hand, well established disciplines that exist in almost all universities all over the world, have a long history and a well established set of journals and conferences, and, on the other hand, suggestions for new fields supported only by few universities and publications.

Fields of study usually have several sub-disciplines or branches, and the distinguishing lines between these are often both arbitrary and ambiguous. <ref>Andrew Abbott, ''Chaos of Disciplines'' University Of Chicago Press 2001 ISBN 0-226-00101-6</ref>



== Overview ==
The [[University of Paris]] in 1231 consisted of four [[Faculty (division)|faculties]]: [[Theology]], [[Medicine]], [[Canon Law]] and [[Liberal Arts|Arts]].<ref>''History of Education'', Encyclopædia Britannica (1977, 15th edition), Macropaedia Volume 6, p. 337</ref> Most academic disciplines have their roots in the mid- to late-19th century [[secularization]] of universities, when the traditional [[curriculum|curricula]] were supplemented with non-classical languages and [[literatures]], [[social sciences]] such as [[political science]], [[economics]], [[sociology]] and [[public administration]], and [[natural science]] and [[technology]] disciplines such as [[physics]], [[chemistry]], [[biology]], and [[engineering]].

In the early 20th century, new disciplines such as [[education]] and [[psychology]] were added. In the 1970s and 1980s, there was an explosion of new disciplines focusing on specific themes, such as [[media studies]], [[women's studies]], and [[black studies]]. Many disciplines designed as preparation for careers and professions, such as [[nursing]], [[Hospitality management studies|hospitality management]], and [[corrections]], also emerged in the universities. Finally, interdisciplinary scientific fields such as [[biochemistry]] and [[geophysics]] gained prominence as their contribution to knowledge became widely recognized.

There is no consensus on how some academic disciplines should be classified, ''e.g.'', whether [[anthropology]] and [[linguistics]] are [[social sciences]] disciplines or [[humanities]] disciplines. More generally, the proper criteria for organizing knowledge into disciplines are also open to debate.

An asterisk (*) denotes a field whose academic status has been debated among this article's editors.
