Bachelor of Liberal Studies/Science in Interdisciplinary Studies
The Bachelor of Science (BS)/Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) in Interdisciplinary Studies degree program provides an opportunity to develop and pursue a course of study centered around a unifying theme, problem, or issue. Students must complete an application that proposes ten upper-level courses (40 credits), selected from various Metropolitan College departments and programs, that relate to their proposed interdisciplinary study topic. The application must include a statement of rationale for the topic and be sponsored by a faculty member. The application must then be reviewed and approved by the assistant dean for student academic affairs.
The BLS in Interdisciplinary Studies is also available through the online Undergraduate Degree Completion Program (UDCP). For students who wish to complete their bachelor’s degree—and who have previously earned 52–64 transferable academic credits—the UDCP offers a unique, completely online curriculum covering the social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences.
