Program Description
The BA program in integrated studies was developed for the academically superior student whose interests lie beyond established departmental emphases and boundaries. Students who are approved for the major have the opportunity to work one-on-one with faculty mentors to create a personalized, focused and coherent course of study that draws its curriculum from more than one academic department or college.
The integrated studies degree program shares with all other liberal arts and sciences programs the goal of developing students' analytical abilities and communication skills. The program combines breadth of learning across multiple disciplinary contexts with an appropriate depth in a focused area of inquiry.
