An [[academia|academic]] discipline, or field of study, is a branch of [[knowledge]] which is [[teaching|taught]] or [[research]]ed at the college or university level. Disciplines are defined and recognized by the [[academic journal]]s in which research is published, and the [[learned society|learned societies]] and academic departments or faculties to which their practitioners belong.
Fields of study usually have several sub-disciplines or branches, and the distinguishing lines between these are often both arbitrary and ambiguous.
==Overview==
In [[medieval]] Europe, there were only four [[Faculty (university)|faculties]] in a university: [[Theology]], [[Medicine]], [[Canon Law]] and [[Liberal Arts]] (''Arts''), with the last one having a somewhat lower status.<ref>''History of Education'', Enclopaedia Britannica (1977, 15th edition), Macropaedia Volume 6, p. 337 </ref> Current-day university 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]] and [[public administration]], and by [[natural science]] and [[technology]] disciplines such as [[physics]], [[chemistry]], [[biology]], and [[engineering]].
In the early 20th century, new disciplines such as [[education]], [[sociology]], 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, the visibility of such interdisciplinary scientific fields as [[biochemistry]] and [[geophysics]] increased, as their contribution to knowledge became widely recognized.
A "*" <!-- after the name --> denotes a field whose academic status is debated. Note that the area into which some fields should be classified is debated, such as whether [[anthropology]] and [[linguistics]] are [[social sciences]] disciplines or [[humanities]] disciplines. Note that some people, particularly [[Critical theory|critical theorists]] are critical of the division of disciplines; and virtually every division of disciplines, as well as the structure of the concept of disciplines in general, is disputed by some.
A provocative question to ask might be "how many disciplines of study are there?" And an answer to this question could reasonably be that there is no end to the amount of academic disciplines one could have.
In academia today, it is a growing practice to incorporate fields of study that are created by extending the ideas, theories, and methods of more traditional disciplines. Also, new times and revolutionary thinkers can enhance or renew existing disciplines, or even create new disciplines altogether. For example, it can be argued that [[Freud]] created a new sub-field of [[psychology]] with his new perspective of [[psychoanalysis]].
