The Bachelor of Science degree in interdisciplinary sciences (IS) is a science degree program that seeks to serve the needs of students whose goals cannot be met within the other science departments. IS students choose from three areas of specialization: atmospheric sciences; pre-professional health sciences; and science, technology, and society. The IS degree program allows students to enroll in a wide variety of math and science courses, as well as carefully chosen electives in the humanities, fine arts, and social sciences.

The Interdisciplinary Sciences degree is especially appropriate for the following individuals.

• Students pursuing professional and health services careers, including but not limited to law and law enforcement, the military, medicine, physical therapy, and radiography.
• Students whose educational and career goals require courses in several departments and the integration of knowledge from diverse fields.

The benefits of the interdisciplinary sciences degree include

• Flexibility in a wide range of study;
• Individual design allowing the student to help select the content of the degree; and
• The opportunity to study natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities from a broad perspective, thus providing a well-rounded program.

Science, Technology, and Society Specialization:

The science, technology, and society specialization combines a strong science background with a firm grounding in environmental, social, and science policy issues. Students pursue a science concentration, such as environmental science, or a minor in a science field, which is complemented by studies in areas such as political science, history, humanities, English, and philosophy. Coursework will prepare students for additional study in law school, in science policy or public policy programs, or in graduate programs in science. Careers can include positions in community and government agencies, in science and technology companies, in the military and law enforcement, as science teachers, or as science lobbyists.
