Specialized Studies
Specialized Studies
The Bachelor of Specialized Studies program allows students to create a faculty-approved, individualized, multidisciplinary degree program tailored to their individual academic interests and/or career needs. In conjunction with faculty and staff, students design an Area of Concentration that stands as the equivalent of pre-established major.
The Specialized Studies degree is appropriate if you would like to combine courses from different academic departments to create a unique major, or if you have interests and career goals not met by a current ÌìÌÃÄñÏÈÉú major.
