Interdisciplinary Studies, B.S.


The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) degree is meant to provide students with a flexible and individualized degree program through the unique combination of different disciplines to satisfy academic interests. This allows a student to design their own degree with the help of an academic counselor. Besides general education requirements and electives, students will meet distinct requirements in any three approved minors. The BIS is available on campus and online. It is a good choice for students wishing to maximize the use of prior earned credits towards earning a degree while also retaining the flexibility to explore new areas of interest. For many students with prior academic experience, it is the fastest path to a degree. 

What can I do with this degree?

Career options for BIS graduates depend on the combination of areas of study chosen. Options are wide-ranging and include journalism, law, public relations, and the natural and social sciences.
