Our Curriculum

Earn a Bachelor of Arts or Science

Through the Integrated Studies program, students can earn a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences in Integrated Studies. You complete your degree with three minors, not a traditional major or minor. This means you can diversify your skills with three minors. These options provide an excellent foundation for graduate or professional specialization, or for entering directly into a competitive job market. 

The choice of three minors is bracketed by an introductory, “lifelong learning” course, “Integrated Learning,” and finished with a practicum requirement in a study abroad, research capstone, or internship experience in one of your minors. 

Let us help you choose the right package of minors that fit your interests! 

Student Experience

Oral, Written Arguments

This one required course, “Integrated Learning,” is great for all students, regardless of major, and is offered 100% online, every semester. 

Students in “Integrated Learning” will gain fundamental skills in analytical reading of texts, across disciplinary fields, in analyzing and articulating evidence and arguments in oral and written forms, and in identifying the philosophical content of readings. CEOs today, in the growing digital economy, want qualitative and quantitative reasoning skills, critical and creative thinking skills, and excellent written and oral communication skills. The Integrated Studies multidisciplinary program delivers!
