Integrated Studies
Interdisciplinary Programs
A Bachelor of Science degree is offered in Integrated Studies for online students.
Integrated Studies
If you already have earned an Associate degree or a minimum of 60 semester hours of credit, the Integrated Studies program offers you a skill-based curriculum. Select two areas of concentration to supplement the General and Liberal Education requirements.
In small classes, you will work closely with professors who are experts in their fields and understand the unique needs of adult students. The curriculum is designed to enhance your ability to communicate effectively, think critically, and contribute to your community.
Combine part-time or full-time study and six academic terms, to create a flexible and personalized college program. Your knowledge gained from life experience is also recognized. Receive college credit for accumulated certifications, professional licenses, on-the-job training, and other life experiences. You may also be eligible for grants, loans, and scholarships in the form of financial aid.
