What is the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core?
The BIC is an interdisciplinary, general studies program for undergraduates at Baylor, housed within the Honors College. Five sequences of courses comprise the BIC curriculum: World Cultures, World of Rhetoric, Social World, Natural World, and The Examined Life. These sequences represent fourteen individual courses for a total of forty-four hours of course work. Students who participate in the BIC take these courses instead of regular general studies courses in freshman composition, literature survey, religion, fine arts (e.g., art history, music, theater arts), introductory social science (e.g., history, sociology, political science, psychology), and laboratory science (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, environmental studies).
