The Interdisciplinary Studies major facilitates a well-rounded knowledge base with emphasis areas chosen from three different disciplines (typically l8 hours each). The concentration area requirements generally follow the courses required for the minor. Courses that are listed in two concentration areas will count in both.
Two disciplines must be selected from the options available in the College of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Education. The third area may come from any college at UA Little Rock.
If you have questions concerning concentration requirements, please contact a BAIS advisor or the chairperson of the Department of Philosophy & Interdisciplinary Studies (501-916-6309).
