The Polymath Foundation | 110 followers on LinkedIn. The Polymath Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization. It was formed to create a new type of interdisciplinary university dedicated to the universal pursuit of knowledge and the development of students' full potential as thinkers, doers, and leaders. We believe that many students have talents that lie across multiple disciplines, and that it is possible to fully develop all of these talents in the standard frame of a university curriculum by blending disciplinary instruction with courses that draw parallels between ideas from different disciplines.
