Bachelor of Arts (BA), Interdisciplinary Studies

Program Overview

The online undergraduate Interdisciplinary Studies degree enables you to tailor your course of study so you can discover your specific professional calling. You’ll pick two concentrations and learn how to combine the two fields in effective ways. If you want to work in environmental conservation, you could study environmental science and public administration. This unique program gives you the flexibility of pursuing your studies online so that your education works for you. This degree enables you to pursue a career in medical ethics, research, law, medicine, business, communication, computer science, cybersecurity, counseling, or public policy.

The Interdisciplinary Studies major will prepare you for a diversity of professions by equipping you with communication, critical thinking, and creative-thinking skills. Through your deep dive into two disciplines, you’ll also graduate with a mastery of content areas to prepare you for a career.
