Students design a degree program that intentionally combines coursework from two different disciplines.

The Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies degree allows students to design a program of study combining two subject areas. No more than 30 credits of coursework with the same prefix can be used to satisfy the combined 40 credits (20 + 20) needed for the emphasis areas (e.g. no more than 30 BUS credits, no more than 30 HIST credits, no more than 30 CHEM credits, etc. can be applied toward the emphases).

Area I (20 Credit Hours)

Area II (20 Credit Hours)

Requirements

• Courses applied toward the general education requirements cannot also be used for credit in an emphasis area.
• At least 15 of the required 42 upper-division hours must fall within the (combined) emphasis areas.
• Courses associated with emphasis areas must be completed with a grade of ‘C-’ or higher.
• At least 12 of the 40 credit hours associated with the emphasis areas must be Adams State University courses.
• At least 30 credit hours (of the required 120) must be Adams State University courses.
