Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (BSIS)

Notes:

1. The CCAF degree has five general education courses: Written Composition, Public Speaking, Algebra, Social Sciences and Humanities. These will be applied as closely as possible within Embry-Riddle's program structure to preserve the intent of the academic content. Other courses from the CCAF degree may be applied to an academic area Embry-Riddle deems appropriate at its discretion to reduce the possibility of duplicative work.
2. This degree will require no more than 60 SH to be taken with Embry-Riddle - Worldwide toward the declared AU-ABC program for students who have met the CCAF graduation requirements. For credit evaluation of courses taken at other academic institutions (not listed above), students should submit official transcripts with their admissions application. All previously earned credit (Embry-Riddle and otherwise) will be taken into consideration for course exemption decisions. After initial evaluation, no more than 60 additional Embry-Riddle credits will be required for completion of a Category I program.
3. Even though transfer credit is awarded for a specific Embry-Riddle course as part of the Agreement, no assumption may be made that credit is awarded for any Embry-Riddle prerequisite course(s) unless the prerequisites are specifically part of this Agreement. A grade of “C” or better is required to be accepted as transfer credit.
4. There must be forty SH of upper-level coursework (300-400 level).
5. Math Courses: Transfer credit may be awarded, or math courses may be required if no transfer credit is present. If transfer credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
6. STAT 211 and STAT 222: Transfer credit may be awarded, or these courses may be required if no transfer credit is present.
7. Minors: Students must select two or three approved minors and a specialty area of study. While students may select multiple combinations of minors and retain a degree total of 120 credits, they are cautioned that some combinations of minors will result of degree totals exceeding 120 credits, regardless of their AU-ABC Category 1 status. Students should work closely with their Academic Advisor. Should Category 1 students select minor combinations that raise the degree total above 120 credits, they will be responsible for additional credits and tuition.
8. Specialization Area: Transfer credit may be awarded, or specialty area of related courses may be required if no transfer credit is present.
9. Open Electives may be adjusted depending on the amount of transfer credit awarded for General Education, Core Requirements and previous Embry-Riddle credit awarded. Any shortages in the 40 required upper-level hours may be made up in the Elective Area.
