The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Multidisciplinary Studies is an excellent degree for those who have academic credit in a variety of disciplines. Candidates for this program ordinarily are not on-track for a traditional major and often have a significant career path established. The major is established through college credits you have earned and/or will earn in four different academic disciplines.
The major in Multidisciplinary Studies is designed for students with several years of college experience in a variety of academic disciplines.
The major requires 15 semester hours of credit in each of four areas: arts and humanities, natural science and math, social and behavioral sciences, and applied science & professional studies.
