Interdisciplinary Studies, B.A.


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Degrees and Programs

Interdisciplinary Studies

Ordinarily, a student selects a major listed in a Heritage University academic program, but there may be special circumstances in which a student who has basically fulfilled requirements for a major not offered by Heritage University may wish to complete degree requirements at Heritage University. This may be accomplished through an interdisciplinary studies major that varies from other majors listed in departments. Requests must be made with the Academic Affairs Office before permission is granted to develop an interdisciplinary studies major.

This baccalaureate degree program is designed to integrate an interdisciplinary core of studies with a student’s chosen major not offered by Heritage University programs.
