Curriculum<br />

The interdisciplinary science curriculum is extremely flexible since<br />

many students enter this major after several semesters at <strong>Florida</strong><br />

Tech. Although program plans are designed on a student-by-student<br />

basis to meet individual needs and interests while fulfilling all degree<br />

requirements listed above, the following provides a general model that<br />

may be followed by students.<br />

Interdisciplinary Science – Aeronautics, B.S. ________<br />

Major Code: 7038 Degree Awarded: Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science<br />

Age Restriction: N Admission status: undergraduate<br />

Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus<br />

The Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science in Interdisciplinary Science–Aeronautics<br />

is conferred on students who successfully complete 125 semester<br />

credit hours <strong>of</strong> study shown in the program <strong>of</strong> study outlined here.<br />

The program provides options to students wishing to pursue careers<br />

in the aeronautics industry. Students interested in flight should see<br />

the B.S. Aeronautical Science–Flight program <strong>of</strong>fered by the College<br />

<strong>of</strong> Aeronautics.<br />

The degree is flexible, tailored to the individual student’s needs and<br />

emphasizes broad training in science. The graduate will have a wellrounded<br />

expertise in science and aeronautics, and will have acquired<br />

specific career tools. Because <strong>of</strong> the freedom to customize the program,<br />

most students graduate with one or more minors in addition to<br />

the bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary science.<br />
