The College of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts offers an interdisciplinary B.A. degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. This degree program is designed to provide a distinctive learning experience for students reenrolling at UNCW after an absence of two or more consecutive (non-summer) semesters. Students electing this program must have previously completed at least 70 credits (transfer credits may count towards this total) and be in good academic standing.
The goal of the program is for students to acquire a core liberal arts education combined with focused knowledge and skills. The integrative program curriculum will draw on prior course work while allowing students to complete their education by focusing on a particular option such as Enterprise and Economy, Global and International Studies, Social Institutions and Human Behavior, Science and Technology, Arts and Humanities, or Human Wellbeing.
