The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) is for students who are self-motivated,creative, and think out of the traditional academic box.Organizations in the 21st century are looking for innovative problem-solvers who can analyze challenges from multiple perspectives. The BIS degree gives you a well-rounded degree while being able to craft your own program to fit your professional needs and creativity.The BIS degree consists of three minors plus a capstone/milestone course, University Studies (UNST) 3900. It's that simple, and you'll have strong advising from the LSU College of Humanities & Social Sciences counselors all the way. UNST 3900 enables you to create a professional digital portfolio that shows employers that you can combine skills from those different minors to solve specific problems.<br><br>The concentration in Urban and Regional Planning draws together the minors in Geography, Political Science, and Sociology. Students pursuing this concentration would learn how humans interact with and influence their environment, how political institutions go about making decisions that impact the environment and the structure of community, and who is affected by such decisions. Job opportunities would include working for city or parish agencies, or being a community development worker.
