Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies
The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies degree provides educational opportunities not readily available through traditional departmental degree programs. Students have maximum flexibility in developing a course of study appropriate to their goals by selecting courses from several departments/schools/ institutes in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students may also include courses from other colleges of this University in their interdisciplinary program. It is not the function of the interdisciplinary program to pull together an assortment of course work as a last-minute effort to facilitate a student’s graduation. A proposal should be planned by the time a student has earned 42 credit hours and should reflect a logical, consistent course of study that is based on acceptable and germane student objectives.
