Program Plan of Study and Requirements
A unique interdisciplinary degree program offers students an opportunity to design a program of study that serves their needs and aspirations. This flexible degree, designed in response to appeals from corporate leaders, nurtures worldly thinkers who understand the intersections between technologies and humans.
Interdisciplinary Studies requires coursework in general education, a core curriculum, three minors, and open electives. General education provides a broad foundation of study, upon which the core expands. Core courses aim to enhance communication and analytical abilities and to help students gain an understanding of history, art, and literature, all of which shape an awareness of what it means to be human. Courses in the core also prepare students to discover meaningful connections among their three minors. The element of choice in Interdisciplinary Studies, primarily lodged in the selection of minor courses of study, allows them to explore the University’s offerings in search of a configuration that will help them attain future goals. In the capstone experience, each student engages in a cooperative education or internship experience or writes a senior thesis.
The flexibility of the Interdisciplinary Studies program allows students to design their own degree programs, by building on their individual strengths and interests. Depending on their choices, graduates can be prepared for careers in aviation and aerospace and related fields, business, the military, graduate studies, or law school. The Interdisciplinary Studies program seeks to graduate students with an entrepreneurial spirit who will cross boundaries, make creative connections, be flexible in a changing career environment, and become leaders in their chosen fields.
Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies requires successful completion of a minimum of 120 credit hours. Included in the 120 credit hours must be 40 credit hours of upper-division courses (300-400 level).

Program Plan of Study and Requirements
The Interdisciplinary Studies program consists of a set of core requirements and three minors, allowing students to essentially design their own degree programs. The element of choice in the program gives students experience in planning their own futures. The program seeks to produce students with an entrepreneurial spirit who will cross boundaries, make creative connections, and become leaders in aviation, aerospace, and related industries. The core requirements in this program help our students to become worldly thinkers who understand that information and skills gleaned from one area of life can be applied to other areas, thus preparing students to meaningfully and usefully connect their three minors. The program respond directly to calls by American corporate leaders for graduates who understand both technology and human beings. To that end, students choose from courses in the humanities, geography, international studies, philosophy and ethics, foreign languages, and psychology. The degree culminates in a senior capstone requirement, which most often takes the form of a co-op experience.
Students meet regularly with the interdisciplinary studies program chair or faculty advisors to develop and revise their individual plan for degree completion. This plan involves evaluating their career objectives and selecting three appropriate minors.
Students should be aware that several courses in each academic year may have prerequisites and/or corequisites. Check the course descriptions before registering for classes to ensure appropriate sequencing.

BSIS to MCMP or MHSR 4+1 Program: A Unique Opportunity
Students who are accepted into the 4+1 program, spend three academic years in undergraduate-level study, minoring in Cybersecurity, Homeland Security or Emergency Services and then, at the beginning of their senior year (having earned at least 88 credit hours with a 3.00 CGPA), will take up to three graduate-level courses that will meet undergraduate and graduate program requirements (when a B grade or better is achieved). Upon completion of the BSIS requirements, students will be enrolled in graduate school and can complete their MCMP or MSHR degree in one year. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of B or better must be earned. If a grade of C or F is earned in any of the MCMP or MSHR graduate courses taken for BSIS credit, the student will be removed from the 4+1 program, have credit awarded to the BSIS degree only, and may continue to complete the BSIS degree.
Students initiate program acceptance through their Academic Advisor or Campus Advisor; to help ensure program criteria are met. Student Advisor will complete the request for processing into the 4+1 program.
