Integrated Studies ,BS
Interdisciplinary, individualized, unique
Are traditional disciplinary pursuits not for you? You can base your study in a technical or scientific area while taking courses in multiple disciplines.
If you excel in your studies, but your interests lie beyond established departmental emphases and boundaries, the Bachelor of Science program in integrated studies was developed you. If you are approved for the major, you have the opportunity to work one-on-one with faculty mentors to create a personalized, focused and coherent course of study that draws its curriculum from more than one academic department or college.
The integrated studies degree program shares with all other liberal arts and sciences programs the goal of developing your analytical abilities and communication skills. The program combines a breadth of learning across multiple disciplinary contexts with an appropriate depth in a focused area of inquiry.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
