BACHELOR OF INTEGRATED STUDIES (B.l.S) Director: Ronald L. Holt Coordinator: Daily Oliver Location: Library, Room 225 Telephone: 626-6360 Description The B.l.S. Program serves the needs of: (1) the student who wants to individualize a unique academic program; (2) the student who wants to obtain a broad liberal education; and (3) the student who wants to diversify professional potential. It is expected that the student, rather than seeking this option because of indecision or an inability to succeed in an established major, will choose the B.l.S. degree for purposeful reasons and mature objectives. B.l.S. students must have a clear understanding of themselves and will know with some precision which life goals they will meet through a self-designed program. Entrance Limitations The Bachelor of Integrated Studies (B.l.S.) degree option is available to students in good standing at Weber State. Students must formally apply for admittance into the B.l.S. program and take 45 credit hours after they are formally accepted into the program. Entrance into the program will be permitted at any time following the student's first quarter as a Weber State student. It is highly recommended that students apply for admittance prior to or during their Junior year. Students will be admitted to the Student Services Interdisc.
