INTERDISCIPLINARY<br />
Interdisciplinary (B.A.)<br />
Goals and Vocational Applications: The goal <strong>of</strong> this major is to<br />
enable the student to combine two or more academic disciplines into<br />
a coherent program that meets specific career objectives.<br />
Requirements: In addition to meeting the liberal arts core<br />
requirements for the Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts degree, the student must<br />
complete approximately 36 semester hours <strong>of</strong> coursework in an<br />
individually tailored program that combines two or more academic<br />
concentrations.<br />
An interested student first consults with their advisor or an area<br />
chairperson in one <strong>of</strong> the proposed disciplines. The student then<br />
writes a detailed proposal stating: (1) the career goals the<br />
Interdisciplinary major is intended to achieve; (2) the specific<br />
learning and skill objectives the student needs to realize the career<br />
goals; (3) the proposed courses in two or more disciplines the student<br />
wishes to take in order to accomplish the learning and skill<br />
objectives; and (4) the names <strong>of</strong> the faculty members who will assist<br />
in advising the student in the proposed academic disciplines. The<br />
proposal should be signed by the faculty, the chairpersons <strong>of</strong> the<br />
areas involved, the Assistant Academic Dean and the student.<br />
This proposal for an Interdisciplinary major is then filed with<br />
the Registrar and becomes the student’s intended course <strong>of</strong> study. It<br />
may be revised with the approval <strong>of</strong> the appropriate faculty<br />
members.<br />
Interdisciplinary proposals are normally filed during a student’s<br />
junior year. The following limitations and requirements apply to all<br />
Interdisciplinary majors at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sioux</strong> <strong>Falls</strong> (except the<br />
Pre-Seminary Interdisciplinary major): (1) at the time <strong>of</strong> filing a<br />
proposal, a student must have a minimum GPA <strong>of</strong> 2.5; (2) a proposal<br />
may not be approved until the student has completed 32 semester<br />
hours; (3) a student who has completed more than 96 semester hours<br />
may not file a proposal for an Interdisciplinary major; (4) no course<br />
may count toward an Interdisciplinary major if the grade is lower<br />
than a “C.”<br />
Students interested in the Pre-Seminary Interdisciplinary major<br />
should see the program described under the Theology & Philosophy<br />
Section, pg. 86.<br />
