Dear BSIS Students, As many of you may have heard, UHD is making some significant changes in the structure and responsibilities of its academic colleges. As a result of these changes, the Bachelor of Science Program in Interdisciplinary Studies (BSIS) will now be housed in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS). Let me be the first to welcome you to the College. I am sure that you are going to love it here as we are home to a wide array of Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines and courses supported by excellent faculty and professional advisors who are dedicated to your academic success!

To be clear, this change is one of program location, and will not change the requirements of the degree plan in which you are currently enrolled. CHSS is a vibrant College that offers students a wide variety of experiences and many opportunities to learn and grow. You may already know this, as many of the courses that are taken to fulfill BSIS requirements are in fact courses in CHSS. Please know that in our College students are our top priority, and we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. Our CHSS Advising Team will be reaching out shortly with more detailed information regarding advising and support. We are so glad to have you with us, and we look forward to helping you reach your academic and career goals!

Kind Regards and Best Wishes,
Dean BA
