Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies
Most careers do not sit inside one department. This is the degree you build out of two or three that do: pick a concentration, pick the capstone that goes with it, and graduate with a combination nobody else is offering.
Ten concentrations, from STEM to strategic studies to public health. Whichever you choose, you finish with the capstone of that field.
Pick two fields. Graduate in both.
An interdisciplinary degree is not a general one. You build it from a core of five courses- communications, ethics, leadership, global studies, and a capstone- and then a 15-credit concentration that decides what the degree is about.
The capstone is the part that ties it together. You choose it from across the university to match your concentration, so a Digital Literacy student can finish with the cybersecurity capstone and a Social and Behavioral Science student with the criminology one. It is your field's final project, in a degree you assembled yourself.
Norwich has been teaching across disciplines since 1819 and is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.

- The core is five requirements, one course each from communications, ethics and critical thinking, leadership, global studies, and a capstone
- Each concentration is 15 credits, including one course at the 300 or 400 level
- This is the degree where scattered credit tends to go furthest, because a concentration can often be built around courses you have already passed
