Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies - Individualized

Illinois State University - INTO USA

The Individualized sequence of the Interdisciplinary Studies major allows a student, with the help of a faculty sponsor, to design a specialized program of study not otherwise offered by the University. This is intended for the student whose specific interests do not fall within existing programs. The uniqueness of the Interdisciplinary Studies major allows students to develop their own plan of study in consultation with their advisor. There are an unlimited number of plans a student could create. For example, students focused on Health and Wellness have used courses from Health Sciences, Kinesiology & Recreation, Sociology, Psychology, and Philosophy to create plans of study with a goal of applying to various pre-professional programs in medical, dental, or physical therapy schools. Some other topics chosen by students include Classical Civilization, Three Dimensional Design, and International Public Relations. The Individualized sequence is typically a second or auxiliary major but may be proposed as a primary major.
