Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies

As the second-largest major at EOU, our interdisciplinary studies program is designed to provide the ultimate personalized degree. College Choice has ranked Eastern Oregon University among the Top 25 Best Online Liberal Arts Colleges in 2018 for the online bachelor’s in interdisciplinary studies program. True to its name, our program integrates two fields of study with diverse learning experiences in and outside of the classroom.

In the bachelor’s in interdisciplinary studies program, students practice several techniques transferable to any career: developing research questions, utilizing multidisciplinary research approaches, considering varied audiences, communicating results and composing with multiple types of media. By the end of the program, graduates will develop a portfolio of materials detailing their research for multiple audiences and potential employers.

To complete the degree, choose between three path options that maximize transfer credits and help reach individualized goals. One option is to complete two minors of your choice at EOU. Transfer students can utilize an existing minor and then complete a minor at EOU to satisfy the degree. Additionally, you can tailor an individualized degree program with an advisor.

Because interdisciplinary studies is an individualized program, career possibilities are endless. EOU alumni from interdisciplinary studies are currently working in education, medicine, social work, finance, marketing and more. Transferable skills in critical thinking, research, media, analysis and interpretation will be an asset in any career path, along with global knowledge and ethical perspectives.
