B. A. in Interdisciplinary Studies

Overview

Students who declare Interdisciplinary Studies as their major must meet with the Director of Interdisciplinary Studies to design a major course of study from the various disciplines of study Belmont Abbey College offers. Interdisciplinary Studies majors must then meet with the Director each semester to assess their progress and to schedule the coursework of the following semester.

A student seeking to graduate with a major in Interdisciplinary Studies must have at least a “C” average (2.00) in his or her major courses. A minimum of 18 hours of major courses must be taken at Belmont Abbey College.

If a student completes at least four upper-level courses in a single department (not including BU315W), he or she will be noted as having a concentration in that field.

The capstone course for the Interdisciplinary Studies major consists of independent work carried out under the guidance of a faculty member with credentials in a discipline appropriate to the topic. The work will culminate in a thesis that will be graded by the faculty supervisor and the Director of Interdisciplinary Studies. The grade is subject to the approval of the Academic Dean’s office.

It is the student’s responsibility to see that all degree requirements for graduation are fulfilled.
