Interdisciplinary Studies

The Boise State University Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) Program offers students an alternative to discipline-specific university degrees at both the baccalaureate and masters degree levels. Students with educational goals that work the interface between traditional disciplines can meet their goals by completing a program that combines coursework from the appropriate disciplines in a coherent manner. Before a student is accepted into the program, a degree plan must be created with the help of faculty advisors and approved by the IDS committee, which consists of faculty representatives from each of the Colleges in the university.

Bachelor of Applied Science

The degree provides students holding an AAS degree with the opportunity to combine their technical course work with academic core and upper-division coursework. A portion of the upper-division coursework must have an emphasis in a specific academic area, allowing for specialized knowledge to complement the student’s career and life goals.
