Interdisciplinary Studies (B.S.)

Overview

The Interdisciplinary Studies option for the Bachelor of Science degree offers students the ability to design a unique degree plan while meeting their academic institution’s requirements for graduation. This flexibility allows students to complete a degree that offers an element of individualism absent in many other degrees specific to a particular discipline. A bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies holds the same value as other degrees in liberal arts or sciences, which allows students to build strong arguments based on information from a broad range of topics. Students may select from concentrations in two to three areas of interest.

Benefits of this Path

An interdisciplinary degree is often highly desirable in a rapidly changing world and provides opportunities for multiple career paths. Currently, students may specialize in Business (which covers a broad range of courses such as marketing, management, human resources, and more), Applied Psychology, and Criminal Justice. We will provide additional opportunities for specialization in the near future.
