Welcome to the BIS Cyber Workshop!
The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) degree in the School of Letters and Sciences is in the top 5 of nearly 300 such programs in the country. We are also the largest and best recognized program of this kind in the nation.
Even so, the first question you’ll probably get is WHAT IS INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES? Stated simply, it’s an approach to problem solving where you learn either individually or as part of a group to use different standpoints from academic disciplines to develop a more effective approach to problems or challenges. When done well, it makes you both a broader and deeper thinker as well as a facilitator who can pull from the insights of others to make a strategic difference. You’ll learn to think differently.
So if you have a curiosity and openness to developing thinking strategies outside conventional frameworks, then you sound like an interdisciplinarian already! Please view our video to learn more.
