The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) degree is one of the highest-quality and best-recognized interdisciplinary
studies degree programs in the country. It offers students the freedom to select two concentration areas from the menu of
more than one hundred possibilities. The core curriculum of the BIS program provides students the intellectual tools needed
to integrate their concentration areas. The degree plan is divided up into three sections, two concentration areas, and a
mandatory 4 core classes. The student gets to pick what their two concentration areas should be. The BIS degree is attained
by earning a minimum of 120 college credits.
As a student of Interdisciplinary Studies, I sought to incorporate
my two concentrations of Women and Gender Studies and Family and Human Development. I have gained a lot of knowledge into
the balance of these two areas. I know see how to apply both of my areas into the career world. Interdisciplinary thinking
allows the student to engage in problem solving and to prepare for a career.
