Bachelor Of Arts In Interdisciplinary Studies Interdisciplinary Studies at North Greenville University is an innovative major allowing students to concentrate on two disciplines while developing a range of integrative skills (like creative synthesis, dialogue, and “big-picture” thinking) which have proven to be highly valuable in today’s complex world. The major is designed for students who have a specific career path in mind (one requiring integration of disciplinary methods and concepts) or for students who just wish to keep their career options open (and thus need to be more diversified). The major is also an excellent route to graduate school, professional school, or seminary, as it provides a broad, rigorous, and flexible preparatory foundation. Most importantly, the IDS student at North Greenville becomes an integrator for Christ, learning to cross territories and build bridges for the Kingdom of God.


Students in interdisciplinary studies can combine two approved disciplines (university wide) and can even opt to leave enough “elective” space free to obtain significant work in a third area. The “primary component,” which determines whether the degree falls under the Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science heading, consists of eight courses from a given discipline. The “secondary component” requires six courses in a different field. Courses are selected from the available classes designated by the department. The required interdisciplinary seminars include a “cornerstone” course, where the integration of the respective fields begins, and a “capstone” course, where the integration builds toward a personalized new whole put to the task of solving real-world problems. A “Junior Project,” logged and saved for inclusion in the senior portfolio, fills in the gap between the two seminars by providing further opportunities to reflect on intentional integrative moves made in the student’s two fields (while also initiating the valuable process of independent learning!). Advanced Expository Writing (or the equivalent) is required for the senior project, and a foreign language track, coupled with service learning concentrating on urban problems, further prepares the interdisciplinary studies major for our “global age.”
