Interdisciplinary Studies BAS

Why this program?

The Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (BAS) in Interdisciplinary Studies is a degree completion program intended for high-credit transfer students who are both seeking to complete their undergraduate degree and highly interested in accelerating into a Master’s degree at Prescott College.

The BAS in Interdisciplinary Studies blends courses from multiple disciplines, bridging together knowledge from various fields to garner an understanding of how the world is interconnected. With this knowledge, students are well-positioned in various industries to identify solutions to complex problems.

Students who have 80+ transfer credits are eligible to enter into this program, which enables a maximization of their prior coursework into a degree plan and sets the student up to quickly begin taking graduate courses as an Accelerated Master’s student.

Accelerated Master’s students use graduate courses to fulfill the remaining credits needed for the undergraduate degree while simultaneously starting a graduate degree. For most Master’s degrees at Prescott College, Accelerated Master’s students are able to take up to 67% of the total graduate credits for the Master’s degree while they are still an undergraduate student, and apply those credits to both degrees. Undergraduate students must apply and be accepted into a Master’s program to be considered an Accelerated Master’s student.
