INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES (IDS)
Day and Evening Programs
Interdisciplinary Studies provides students the opportunity to develop, in
consultation with an advisor, a multi-disciplinary program of study to meet
their educational and career goals. The flexibility of the IDS program allows
students to combine course work from two or more disciplines based on
career goals, workplace advancement needs, or preparation for graduate or
professional study. IDS students may take upper-level courses in any
discipline in arts and sciences, in any business discipline, and in some
education disciplines. In addition, IDS students may choose a focus area
such as Business and Communications, Nonprofit Administration and
Sociology, or Technology and Nonprofit Administration. The IDS major is
available to students at all levels of their academic careers—from the
beginning freshman to the degree-completion student with previously
earned credits. IDS transfers who have earned an AA or AS degree from
a regionally-accredited (for college transfer) technical or community college
or have completed the general education requirements at an accredited
baccalaureate institution will have satisfied the general education
requirements for the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree in IDS.
A minimum of 30 semester hours must be completed in residence at USC
Upstate after acceptance into the IDS program.
