B. S. Integrated Studies Concentration Areas

Some colleges have set special permissions or limits for Integrated Studies students taking courses in their colleges. Students who have not yet taken courses in these colleges must follow these special guidelines.

Unless otherwise specified, students who have previously taken courses in these colleges may count that coursework toward Concentration Area requirements.

Colleges not listed here have not provided special course permissions or limits, meaning students may take any courses for which they meet published prerequisites. Students should check with their academic advisor in Integrated Studies for all enrollment questions.
