The B.I.S. degree is a flexible degree that allows students the opportunity to design their own course of study to accomplish their personal educational goals. Students can study a wide range of subjects at the upper-division level (300-400), or they can explore special interests in just a few topics. Individualized, customized programs of study, such as this degree offers, can be very attractive to both employers and graduate programs.
