Interdisciplinary Studies, BA

The Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies is designed to meet the needs of students who want to create an individualized program of study that fulfills their personal learning goals and career aspirations. The degree is also well-suited to students seeking opportunities to blend large numbers of otherwise unfocused transfer credits into a single, purposeful academic direction. Furthermore, the program allows students to tailor their degree towards a specific or unique graduate program.

Students complete the university’s general education requirements (42 credit hours), major requirements with a C or better (36 credit hours), and free electives (42 credit hours). Students are required to complete 50 percent of the core curriculum (18 credit hours) and their last 30 credit hours at Lindenwood University.
