What will I learn?

Find Your Best Fit

Students in Integrative Studies design a bachelor's degree that works best for them, by making connections among fields of study that fit their educational, career, and personal goals. The Integrative Studies major incorporates a set of three seminars designed to help students reflect upon their educational options and purposefully plan a degree they can use now and in the future. This major works well for students who have already earned some college-level credits, though the major is also appropriate for new students.

Students must complete the entire Miami Plan for Liberal Education or Ohio Transfer Module and at least 56 hours at the 200-level and above, including at least 21 hours at the 300-level and above.

Students will take classes in-person at Hamilton and Middletown.
