Interdisciplinary Studies
Interdisciplinary Studies (INTS) provides an individually crafted degree for the jobs of the future. The Interdisciplinary Studies Program (INTS) offers students the opportunity to create a truly customized degree plan. While traditional disciplines are slow to adjust to job demands, Interdisciplinary Studies allows students to build their degree to fit the job students want to be the leaders of tomorrow. Because of the flexibility of the degree, the Interdisciplinary Studies Program is intended to meet the needs of creative and intellectually curious students.
Both the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (BAIS) and Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (BSIS) provide students the opportunity to create the degrees that will provide access to new careers. Students pursuing the BAIS take more credit hours in foreign language while students pursuing the BSIS take more credit hours in mathematics.
Students in the program are expected to work closely with their adviser to develop an innovative program of study that draws on the rich academic resources of the University, including existing minors and certificates.
