What is the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies degree?
Villanova University recognizes that the adult learner brings life and work experiences to the classroom that presents a different dynamic than with traditional age students. Because of this, a more flexible core curriculum that meets the needs of adult students yet maintains the major elements of the Villanova core in the humanities, ethics, philosophy, social sciences and quantitative and scientific theory was created. Additionally, the three majors within this degree were planned with a view towards students needs as well as major trends within todays society for example the role of technology in every workplace, the need for strong ethical and leadership skills and the flexibility of a major that reflects the students personal choice in selecting courses in the area of their strongest academic interest.
