Understanding the Online Integrated Studies Degree
You make your own choices in life; let those experiences drive your pursuit of a Integrated Studies (BS) degree.
The Integrated Studies degree allows you to forge your own path by designing a curriculum through your choice of three academic minors, one Integrated Studies capstone course, and supporting coursework. Each minor must contain 18 hours unique only to that major, but the rest is up to you.
The online Integrated Studies degree offers the same benefits as the on campus program, but with the added convenience of fitting into your already busy life.
