Interdisciplinary Studies, BIS

The B.I.S. degree serves students seeking an alternative to the traditional program of disciplinary majors and minors; those who have acquired academic credits in diverse curricula from other institutions, and those who wish to create a customized plan of study. The B.I.S. has defined options in Health Studies, Leadership and Professional Studies, Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, and Teaching and Learning for students who wish to pursue structured multidisciplinary concentrations. The principal difference between the B.I.S. degree and other baccalaureate programs is the absence of a single disciplinary focus and the uniqueness of the combined methods of study. Applicants should meet the same general requirements for admission to the university as other degree-seeking applicants
