Interdisciplinary Studies Curriculum
Core Curriculum
The online bachelor’s in interdisciplinary studies requires a core of required credit hours. First, you will receive an introduction to interdisciplinary studies. You will also need to take a discipline-specific methods course or an additional library course to help you develop research skills.
Depending on which path you have chosen toward degree completion, enrollment counselors and advisors will ensure that you complete your degree requirements.
Last, all interdisciplinary studies majors complete a capstone course. In the capstone, you develop a portfolio of materials detailing your research for multiple audiences. Earn your B.A. with a foreign language requirement, or your B.S. with just 12 more science credits.
View CoursesHave Credits to Transfer?
The option to transfer credits makes your program more affordable and can help you get on the job sooner. We allow up to 135 credits from previous college coursework to be transferred into EOU. If you already have a minor from another school, that minor could be recognized as one half of your EOU interdisciplinary studies degree. All EOU majors require a minimum of 20 EOU credits.
To see how your credits will transfer, use our Transfer Equivalency tool.
