Customize your education to explore a variety of interests and achieve a degree that reflects the knowledge and skill sets that are right for you.
The BA/BS or AA/AS degree in Integrative Studies builds on our General Education program by allowing students flexibility in developing their own self-designed major.
Through this program, students select concentration tracks that appeal to them and form a basis for their future career and personal goals. The program also builds on the General Education program by placing emphasis on foundational skills, such as financial literacy and computer competency, to ensure students are well-rounded and prepared for success after college.
Some sample combinations and career outcomes include:
- Natural Resource Conservation & Management + Sustainability + Biology + GIS minor = Environmental Analyst
- Natural Resources Conservation & Management + Business Management = Environmental Remediation Business Owner
- Culinary Management + Hotel, Resort and Tourism Management + Business Management = Banquet Manager
- Sustainability + Business Management = Sustainability Advisor
By the end of the program students will be able to:
- Coherently integrate diverse elements from multiple domains of knowledge and practice to create a thesis, product, performance, or other kind of artifact within an appropriate context.
- Communicate organized and informed ideas clearly and persuasively to diverse audiences in writing.
- Apply quantitative and mathematical methods and models to develop potential solutions to real-world problems and financial decision-making.
- Generate meaning by using appropriate research methodologies to collect, analyze, evaluate, and synthesize data.
- Collaborate, interact, and empathize with individuals and groups who represent diverse cultures and contemporary and historic perspectives.
- Creatively express an informed point of view regarding human experience, cultures, values, and choices in a manner appropriate to audience and context.
