The Bachelor of Science in Integrated Studies degree (recently consolidated with the BS in Liberal Studies) is an interdisciplinary degree program with instruction offered on the MTSU campus as well as online. This degree is extremely flexible and is an excellent option for students seeking a broad-based educational experience or wanting to custom-design a degree program. Those seeking this accelerated path to graduation choose two areas of emphasis (12 hours each) to meet personal and professional goals. Sample study subjects include child and family studies, communication studies, criminal justice, cultural studies, English or writing, health, human sciences, information technology, journalism or public relations, leadership studies, nutrition, office management, political science, psychology, sociology, teaching and learning, and women’s studies. Some pre-planned areas of emphasis are offered in Communication Studies, Health and Human Performance, and Leadership Studies (click Degrees tab for more information). Students who have accumulated a variety of course credits that are not easily applied to a particular degree program often find that they can be used in this program, allowing them to graduate earlier. Elective course requirements for adult learners are often fulfilled through the Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program, which evaluates college-level learning you may have gained through work, training, certifications, licensure, military, and other programs. Details about the program should be discussed with your advisor.

What We're Doing

Suzanne French sitting at desk

Going back for degree increased earning power

Suzanne French took online courses to finish her college degree after her children grew up, transferring two years of credit from Colorado State. She said her earning power increased after completing the Liberal Studies degree in August 2012 (English and foreign language areas of emphasis). “I believe having it on my resume that I’m a college graduate has made all the difference,” French says. “In the past, people kind of second-guessed whether I was capable. As soon as they saw the degree, nobody questioned whether I was capable or not.” After working as an academic adviser at Bethel University in Nashville, she moved to Mission Health in Dickson for a shorter commute. She says she just gave up TV for two years to get her degree. “It’s never too late to go back and finish something you started a long time ago,” French says.

Tim Oneal

Degree set up grad studies in multiple disciplines

Tim Oneal (Bachelor of University Studies, 2002) is writing his doctoral dissertation in educational leadership at the University of North Dakota. The B.Unv.S. has allowed him to pursue multiple disciplines in grad school. While waiting to apply for law school, Oneal realized he had enough credits to pursue his master's in Criminal Justice Administration ('05, MTSU/TSU). He then completed an Educational Specialist degree ('06, MTSU) after his thesis compared spending for incarceration and higher education. "When it came to grad school, I found that I wasn't held into one specific discipline," Oneal said. "The University Studies degree allowed the diversity to get enough courses for prerequisites that I could tailor my graduate studies."
