Frequently Asked Questions

What sets Liberty’s approach to interdisciplinary studies apart from traditional general or multidisciplinary programs?

You may be wondering, “What is interdisciplinary studies for, and why should I get a degree in it?” Most jobs require a specific selection of education, training, and experience. Many general studies and multidisciplinary studies programs attempt to meet this need by stitching together several traditional degrees into one if an existing degree doesn’t fit.

A bachelor’s in general studies traditionally offers the most flexibility in how you pursue your topics of interest. We define interdisciplinary studies differently, focusing on fusing these disciplines into one unified idea. Instead of trying to adapt a collection of several separate studies to meet your needs, Liberty can help you custom-fit your education to your passion.

What can you do with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies?

The opportunities are practically endless. Your degree can be custom-built to help you complete your studies faster, fit into new roles easier, and invent a path forward in new industries. With Liberty’s accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), your academic credentials can help meet important education requirements for employment.

You may also have the opportunity to pursue roles in higher education with a graduate degree and may even better fit the requirements for that degree than if you had graduated with a standard bachelor’s. Working with Liberty’s academic advisors, you can build a plan that can help you reach your goals.

What is the job outlook for interdisciplinary students?

Liberty’s online Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies program can fit any industry with the right areas of study. With a customizable bachelor’s degree, you can take advantage of new industries and specialized market niches. But is a bachelor’s degree worth it? A general studies degree can fill many roles, but Liberty’s flexible interdisciplinary studies program can be the best way to do so without limiting your options. Our interdisciplinary studies degree can help you take advantage of new opportunities, adapt to changes in the job market, and even build your own business based on your unique background.

How many areas of study can I choose in Liberty’s program, and how does this customization benefit my career and academic aspirations?

What recognition has Liberty University received, and how does this contribute to its overall reputation as a top online educational institution?
