Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies - Science

The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) degree provides an academic option offering more flexibility than most traditional major programs. The BIS empowers students to select complementary courses from different disciplines or academic programs to create a course of study suited to individual interests and needs. This flexibility allows BIS students to complete their degree 100% online (if desired).

Secondary educational systems vary across the globe. The United States has a 12-year secondary educational system. Many countries have 10, 11, or 13-year secondary educational systems. If you have attended school in a country where the secondary system differs from the United States, you may be eligible for admission. Each undergraduate admissions application is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
The International Admissions Office completes in-house evaluations of all international credentials and coursework. If a student has attended an educational institution within the U.S., official documents must be sent directly from the institution to WKU. Students may provide a color scan of credentials earned outside the U.S. While an admission decision can be made based upon scanned documents, students are required to present official documents to the International Admissions Office upon arrival to campus. Consulates & embassies often serve as a resource for the attestation of educational documents.
