Overview of BIS Degree
| BIS Index Page |
The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) program is designed for adults who have been out of school for five or more years. It is a good choice both for people who have never been to college and for students who attended college in the past but did not complete a degree. For the latter, the BIS program makes it possible to apply previous educational experience toward a degree program. There are several ways to meet the admissions requirements for the program; therefore, the admissions process should begin with an interview with a BIS advisor in the Admissions and Advising Office at ASFCCE.
