Change of Major information
Beginning Fall 2024 the BIS major will undergo updates to provide a more efficient pathway to graduation for all students. Consult with your Academic Advisor for more opportunities.
This page provides information and references for students who are considering changing their major to On Campus or Fully Online Interdisciplinary Studies programs.
It is important to be aware of HOW the BIS is structured – be sure to carefully read the following page most relevant to your interest:
Online BIS Curriculum
When changing to a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies major [BIS] you want to be sure you know if you want to study on CAMPUS or as a FULLY ONLINE student.
You have to be sure that you know how the BIS and Online BIS are built.
You have to choose 2 different 18 hour concentrations
and one additional MINOR or one additional CONCENTRATION
so 36+15=51 hours in the major
or 36+18=54 hours in the major
There are significant differences in the concentrations and minors in the fully online and in the on campus options.
This change of major process can require that a student change their campus if they are moving from a face to face to a fully online campus – the change of campus is done through the Change of Major process.
As you learned above the BIS has concentrations and minors as its basic parts. These are also a part of the process when you change your major to BIS.
