In BIS 301, we learned what interdisciplinary studies meant.  We were taught how to think in an interdisciplinary way and how to integrate our two concentration areas.  Using interdisciplinary means, we learned how to create solutions to many problems and issues presented to us.  For the course final project, we broke up into teams and created greeting card companies.  We had to integrate all group members' concentration areas to create our cards and run our company.

 

In this course, students learned how to apply different interdisciplinary research methods.  We learned the tools needed to create and implement surveys.

 

This course required that students choose an applied studies site that would integrate both concentrations chosen.  Students had to do a required 125 hours at their chosen site.  This is an internet course.

 

For the Senior Seminar, the student is required to take a deeper look within.  Using Carol Pearson's 12 archetypes, students are encouraged to take a look back at their own personal journeys and find their dominant and weakest archetypes.  They also learn how to apply each archetype to their journey and daily lives.
