B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies to M.S. in Human Security and Resilience

This program allows the exceptional student to complete the Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (BSIS) and Master of Science in Human Security & Resilience (MSHSR) degrees at the Worldwide campus.

Approved Courses for the Combined Option

Students who are accepted into the program, spend three academic years in undergraduate-level study, minoring in Homeland Security or Emergency Services, and then, at the beginning of their senior year (having earned at least 75 credit hours with a 3.00 CGPA), will take up to three graduate-level courses that will meet undergraduate and graduate program requirements (when a B grade or better is achieved).  Upon completion of the BSIS requirements, students will be enrolled in the Master of Science in Human Security and Resilience (MSHSR) degree for completion on an accelerated timeline. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of B or better must be earned. If a grade of C or F is earned in the MSHSR graduate courses taken for BSIS credit, the student will be removed from the program, have credit awarded to the BSIS degree only, and may continue to complete the BSIS degree.

Students initiate program acceptance through their Academic Advisor or Campus Advisor; to help ensure program criteria are met.  Student Advisor will complete the request for processing into the program.
