• The focused nature of the B.I.S. degree specifically engages students who would benefit from closer collaboration with a faculty mentor(s) through experiential research and/or participation with faculty-led problem solving teams. Students are encouraged to design an individualized program that will prepare them for unique or advanced learning experiences – including international, cooperative or professional schools. It may be used as part of a dual degree or as a second degree, and an existing departmental minor is required.
  • Strict compliance with B.I.S. requirements is mandatory for admission to and continuation in the program. Changes to approved Plans of Study may be made only in consultation with an advisor. Students in the Integrative Studies program must meet the general academic regulations of the University for admission, academic standing, and graduation found under the University Catalog headings of Admissions & Undergraduate Programs. Students who have not been continuously enrolled for 3 consecutive semesters must follow the requirements of the current University of New Mexico Catalog upon readmission.
