Choose Your Own Path
The goal of the Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) program is to provide students with the opportunity to customize their path to graduation at BYU-Idaho.
Keep your options open while getting a well-rounded degree. You’ll create your own degree while choosing from three different categories, science, technology, engineering & math, arts & humanities, and social sciences & business.
Interdisciplinary studies create an environment where you must think outside of the box to make your different concentrations work together. As you practice critical thinking and creativity in interdisciplinary studies, you’ll become a quick thinker and creator.
In this degree, you tailor your learning experience to exactly what you want to learn. This prepares you with a wider variety of knowledge for the career you have chosen. Because students choose from three different categories, you receive skills in multiple areas instead of concentrating on one main area. Students learn problem solving skills to find answers to complex questions.
