Integrated Studies

UC Foundation Associate Professor Gretchen Potts, Coordinator

The Bachelor of Integrated Studies degree is an individualized course of study focused on a theme and developed by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor. The role of the advisor is critical in focusing the varied interests of the student into a viable, integrated course of study. The degree plan must be approved by the Integrated Studies Committee prior to the student earning 42 hours, or within the first semester for students entering with 42 or more earned hours. Students entering the program with earned hours must meet with the program coordinator during the first semester.

Graduates with a Bachelor of integrated Studies degree will be able to:
• Demonstrate a practical and theoretical grasp of a body of knowledge related to two or more disciplines;
• Critically and creatively research, write and present logical and theoretical connections between multiple disciplines;
• Evaluate, clarify, frame and address a complex question or challenge using perspectives and scholarship from two or more disciplines.
