Online Interdisciplinary Studies Degree Completion Programs

Park gives a scattered transcript a defined way to become a connected major. You combine fields from different schools or departments through two minors, or pair a catalog minor with an approved personal field. Introductory and advanced interdisciplinary courses help connect those choices. This structure is useful if your previous colleges left you with substantial work in two subjects and you want both to remain visible in the degree plan.

Before you apply: A personal field requires a written course list and justification, followed by approval. Compare the writing-intensive and upper-division requirements as well as the selected minors.

Eastern Oregon offers several ways to connect work you have already completed. You can combine two EOU minors, create an individual plan alongside an EOU minor, or bring a transfer minor into the degree. Methods study supports a final portfolio that presents your research to multiple audiences. This makes the program worth examining when an earlier minor is nearly complete and you want to build a broader academic argument around it.

Before you apply: EOU uses quarter credits, and the BA includes foreign-language study. Have an advisor confirm how a transferred minor and the required EOU major credits fit your chosen plan.

APU’s Interdisciplinary Studies BA lets you develop a focus across fields such as business, communication, sciences, and social services. Applied Interdisciplinary Perspectives asks you to connect those fields, and the senior seminar brings that work into an independent project. The structure gives earlier classes a purpose beyond accumulating electives. It is a useful route to compare when you can explain the problem, audience, or professional interest that connects your previous study.

Before you apply: The final seminar requires earlier interdisciplinary coursework and substantial completed credit. The degree is an academic completion route; it does not itself qualify you for a professional license.

ASU’s Interdisciplinary Studies BA connects two concentrations and then asks you to put that combination to work. Its culminating choices include an applied placement, a directed creative or research project, and a competitive faculty-research option. This gives you a useful decision beyond choosing subjects: how do you want to demonstrate the connection? Your earlier credits can inform both the concentration choices and the kind of final experience you plan.

Before you apply: The applied option includes time at an approved site. Plan that work separately from online coursework, and investigate faculty and project approval before assuming a particular final option.

UCF’s current catalog gives its Interdisciplinary Studies BA a concrete structure: two approved subject areas, a cornerstone course, and a graduating-semester capstone. That structure helps you test whether previous classes form a coherent combination. An academic success coach reviews the courses, so an item appearing on a degree audit is not automatically an approved concentration course. Start that conversation with a proposed theme and the courses you want to connect.

Before you apply: Declare the major at least two semesters before graduating. Confirm an online course plan for your exact areas because elective and prerequisite availability can affect the route.

UNC Greensboro’s Liberal and Interdisciplinary Studies BA gives returning adults several online concentration choices, including humanities, professional studies, and social sciences. The structure helps students organize earlier college work around a coherent focus while completing broader interdisciplinary requirements. Selecting the concentration early gives an advisor a clearer basis for identifying which previous courses satisfy the degree and which subjects remain.

Before you apply: Confirm that your chosen concentration is one of the online options; other tracks listed within the larger program are offered on campus.

UNC Pembroke’s online Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies offers several tracks for students building on earlier college work. The general studies and professional studies options allow different academic interests to shape the finish. Asynchronous courses remove scheduled class meetings, and a program coordinator supports planning, making the published transfer and major-residency rules the key items to compare with your transcript.

Before you apply: The BIS does not award experiential or lifelong-learning credit, and part of the major must be completed through UNC Pembroke.

UNC Wilmington’s online Interdisciplinary Studies BA gives returning students a structured completion route with a choice of two tracks. Earlier credits can contribute toward general education and electives, while the remaining interdisciplinary core develops a shared academic foundation. A capstone project closes the degree, and seven-week courses offer a consistent format for planning study alongside work.

Before you apply: Admission includes transfer-credit and GPA requirements. Confirm how your courses fit the core and selected track before relying on the maximum transfer amount.

UMass Amherst’s University Without Walls program lets returning adults design an interdisciplinary concentration using coursework and assessed learning from experience. Its core courses help students connect those experiences with academic study and prepare a prior learning portfolio. An approved degree plan then identifies the remaining coursework, making the process especially relevant when previous credits do not fit neatly within one conventional major.

Before you apply: Some concentration subjects are not fully available online. Confirm your complete course plan and portfolio expectations before enrolling.

USC Upstate’s online Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies lets students create an academic major around their interests and intended work. Returning adults can bring earlier credits into the review and select courses across fields, with optional service-learning or study-abroad opportunities. The degree’s customization makes careful advising useful: your strongest finish will depend on how previous courses support a connected academic plan.

Before you apply: The transfer maximum does not determine the finish by itself; have an advisor approve the combination of subjects and remaining degree requirements.

LSU’s online Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies organizes a custom degree around three minors. That structure can give returning students a practical way to connect earlier study across several fields instead of selecting a single conventional major. A dedicated capstone adds leadership and communication work, while the transfer evaluation shows how much of the interdisciplinary plan your previous courses can support.

Before you apply: Ask an advisor to check upper-level requirements and the approved combination of minors; credits in one subject may be limited by degree rules.

Campbellsville’s online Interdisciplinary Studies BS lets returning students choose from a range of concentrations while retaining a substantial elective component. Adults with credits from several subjects can compare their transcript against the general education, concentration, and elective requirements. That breakdown makes it easier to identify whether the degree preserves useful earlier coursework while adding a focused area of study.

Before you apply: Choose the concentration before requesting a final plan; the same transferred course may count differently depending on the subject you select.

Mississippi State’s online Interdisciplinary Studies BS gives returning students a choice between two larger emphasis areas or three smaller ones. The arrangement can help organize credits from different departments into a purposeful finish. Its published distinction between community-college and four-year transfer limits is useful when you are combining transcripts from several institutions and need to understand which upper-level requirements remain.

Before you apply: The degree requires upper-level work within the emphasis areas; community-college credits cannot replace all of those requirements.

Rhode Island’s Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies is an online completion program for students who have already earned substantial college credit. Seven-week sessions and multiple annual entry terms create a defined schedule for returning adults. Students can complete remaining general education work within the program while building toward the bachelor’s upper-level credit requirement.

Before you apply: Applicants who previously enrolled at URI use the readmission process. Have the university check which admission route applies to your academic history.

Bay Path’s Interdisciplinary Studies BA offers returning students an online route with full-time and part-time enrollment choices. The published transfer allowance gives adults with earlier college study a starting point for reviewing how much of the degree remains. Seven-week sessions provide a regular pace, while the interdisciplinary format allows the academic plan to draw from more than one field.

Before you apply: Request a degree-specific transfer evaluation and course plan; the maximum transfer allowance may exceed the credits that apply to your chosen requirements.

Liberty’s online Interdisciplinary Studies BS allows students to shape a degree around more than one academic interest. Returning adults can submit earlier coursework for review and work toward an individualized plan within the university’s Christian academic setting. The online course structure gives applicants a concrete schedule to examine alongside the transfer decision and the subjects they want to combine.

Before you apply: Some courses use a full-semester schedule rather than the common eight-week format. Confirm the timing of your selected areas before planning a finish.

Lindenwood’s online Interdisciplinary Studies BA brings three areas of study into one undergraduate plan. Adults returning with coursework from several subjects can use the transfer review to see where that history fits. The program also lists a human-centered artificial intelligence emphasis, giving students another possible direction when they want the remaining coursework to connect with a developing interest.

Before you apply: Confirm that your selected areas and emphasis can be completed in the online format and that earlier courses satisfy their specific requirements.

Nevada, Reno’s online Interdisciplinary Studies BA is designed for students finishing a first bachelor’s degree. Returning students enter with substantial college work and organize the remaining major around two minors, one of which may be customized with approval. The structure makes the program relevant when earlier coursework and current interests fit better across two fields than within a single traditional major.

Before you apply: This route is unavailable for a second bachelor’s degree. Applicants must also have completed the required core mathematics and English coursework.

Boston University’s online completion program awards a Bachelor of Liberal Studies in Interdisciplinary Studies. It is designed for adults with previous college study who want a part-time curriculum spanning humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. The program includes a minimum amount of BU coursework, so the transfer review and course selection together determine the work still needed to finish.

Before you apply: Request an individual admission review and degree plan to confirm how your incoming units apply and which BU courses remain.

Arizona’s online Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies is presented specifically as a way to finish a degree using previously earned credits. Students work with an advisor to select a pathway and build an individualized academic plan. Options connect fields such as arts and media, economy and industry, or science and society, with a faculty-supported capstone providing the final applied project.

Before you apply: Have an advisor confirm the pathway and transfer rules, including which of your previous courses satisfy the remaining degree requirements.
