INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) degree is a flexible pro-
gram allowing students to customize their college degree. It is intended
for students who want to obtain broad knowledge through pursuit of three
different fields of study. All BIS students complete the regular general
education course work but have no traditional major or minor. Instead
they complete a set of prescribed courses in each of three different BIS
fields of study of their choice, drawn from participating departments from
across campus.
BIS fields of study must contain at least nine (9) advanced hours of course
work. Departments may offer different course groupings for different
BIS fields of study. Double majoring is not an option with this degree,
nor is selection of a minor or pursuing a double degree. The BIS degree
requires two additional courses, which represent a hybrid of the additional
requirements for BA and BS degrees: one semester of college language,
and one additional course in a lab science or math (1311 or above). BIS
students must also complete a capstone course within one of their fields
of study. This capstone is intended to foster the integration of the fields
of study into a coherent project that demonstrates depth of learning and
interdisciplinary connections.
The following fields of study are available at this time:
Art
Administration of Coaching
Allied Health
Business
Christian Ministry
Early Childhood Education
Ethics
History
Kinesiology
Multimedia Applications
Music
Psychology
Servant Leadership
Theatre
The program is administered through the Office of the Vice President for
Academic Affairs and Deans Council.92
