For an English concentration, students should take a minimum of 18 credit hours as approved by the English Department. Students may choose either a literature concentration or a writing concentration. BIS students must meet with the English Department Chair to design their English component. The Bachelor of Integrated Studies (BIS) best suits the student who has developed a sense of his or her educational and life goals, and who is looking for ways to express those goals through an individualized university program. The BIS Program serves the needs of the student who wants to: • create a specific academic program • obtain a broad liberal education • prepare for particular career goals and/or graduate school To accomplish these general outcomes, the BIS student completes course work in three different disciplines. As a culminating experience, the student then synthesizes the three disciplines in a capstone project.
