Programme overview

This fully online Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies requires 121 total credit hours and is designed so students select two concentrations and learn to integrate them in practical ways. The program is offered as a BA, is not I‑20 or I‑17 approved, and is administered online under Program Director Karen Zagrodnik. Students may progress up to 36 credit hours per year and can start in multiple entry terms (Fall: August & October; Spring: January & March; Summer: May & June).

What you'll study

The curriculum is built around dual concentrations chosen by each student so you gain both broad skills—communication, critical thinking, creative thinking—and deep content knowledge in two areas. The programme materials explicitly cite examples of combining disciplines (for instance environmental science with public administration) to prepare for particular career aims.

Entry requirements

• No previous degree is required to enroll.
• Transcript submission is required: Official 2‑ & 4‑year transcripts when transfer hours are 24 or more; for transfer hours under 24, provide any official high school/GED transcripts and any 2‑ & 4‑year transcripts.
• The application deadline is two weeks before a term start date.

Career prospects

The program materials list a wide range of potential career and further‑study directions graduates may pursue, including roles in medical ethics, research, law, medicine, business, communication, computer science, cybersecurity, counseling, and public policy. The degree aims to prepare students for diverse professions by combining transferable skills with mastery of two content areas.
