Interdisciplinary Studies, Liberal Arts (BAS)

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Interdisciplinary Studies builds upon a technical specialty to hone the critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills necessary to move into leadership positions in any industry. By completing the full Essential Learning curriculum, including the Essential Learning Capstone, students will gain exposure to multiple disciplines and ways of approaching problems. Students will work with an advisor to identify upper-division courses that will best meet their interests and career goals. The BAS in Interdisciplinary Studies is a path for two-year technical degree graduates to earn a 4-year degree in approximately four additional full-time semesters, depending upon prior coursework. Upon completion of the program, students will be technically and academically prepared for leadership positions in their chosen field.

Important information about this degree:

Formal admission to a BAS program requires completion of the appropriate AAS degree from an accredited institution.
In order to pursue the BAS: Interdisciplinary Studies, a student must first provide to the Office of Academic Affairs a signed letter from a faculty member in her or his chosen focus area indicating a course sequencing for the focus area as well as a broad description of the student’s summative project. Upon approval by an Assistant Vice-President for Academic Affairs, the student will be declared a BAS: Interdisciplinary Studies major, and the faculty recommender will be assigned as academic advisor. Changes to the course sequencing provided in the letter will require approval by the academic advisor.
