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!

The Integrated Studies multidisciplinary program delivers!
