Interdisciplinary Studies
The College of Humanities and Social Sciences
supervises the program of studies leading to the
Bachelor of Science degree major in
Interdisciplinary Studies. The Interdisciplinary
Studies degree offers the student a broad based,
flexible curriculum in the arts and sciences so that
the individual may design a course of study to
meet his or her interests and needs, both personal
and career-oriented.
At the lower level (freshman and sophomore
level), the Interdisciplinary Studies student
receives a solid foundation in the arts and
sciences. Students completing the courses from
the Core Requirements may have some hours that
apply for an Associate of Arts from the Lone Star
College System. A maximum of 66 hours may
transfer from a community college. In addition to
these core requirements, students take courses in
three broadly defined clusters of the arts and
sciences: humanities, social sciences,
mathematics and natural science.
On this foundation, the student builds an upperlevel program, either by pursuing interests in
traditional arts and sciences or by structuring an
interdisciplinary program suited to personal needs
and interests. A student may use the large
number of elective hours to gain proficiency in
specific career areas. The business content of
non-business programs is limited to 25 percent of
the credit hours applied toward graduation.
The degree requires completion of 123 hours, at
least 36 of which must be upper-level courses
(3000 or 4000 level) within the arts and sciences.
The minimum grade point average of 2.0 required
for graduation is computed for all course work
which could apply toward the degree at UHD.
LSCS and the partner universities provide equal employment, admission, and educational
opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age or disability.
The staff members in the Academic Student
Services Office at the UC assist all students in
determining which program of study to pursue.
This includes providing information about the
variety of programs available, reviewing transcripts
to aid in identifying any courses to be completed
before entering the program of choice, and serving
as liaison between the student and university
program representatives. Students who have
already earned an associate’s degree or have a
substantial number of college academic credit
hours should contact the Academic Student
Services Office for advising and to begin the
transfer admission process for the university
offering the degree program they desire to pursue.

Student Services Office based on information from
