Interdisciplinary Studies allows students a great deal of flexibility in course choices
for their major and/or minor, however, all general university requirements, general
education requirements (i.e. GERs), degree requirements, and non-interdisciplinary
program requirements are expected to be completed through coursework (i.e. institutional
credit, transfer credit above residency requirements), standardized testing options
pre-approved for credit (CLEP, DSST-DANTES, FLAT, AP, IB).
Credit by exam and Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) are only available in exceptionally
unusual circumstances. Students must demonstrate university-level learning, including
theoretical knowledge; length of experience and type of position alone are insufficient.
Student may be required to present proposal in writing including supporting background
documentation.
Petitions for substitutions to and waivers of will be considered only in extraordinary
circumstances when other requirements are already met and pursuing additional coursework
represents a hardship to the student without any relevant benefit.
