Your original goal at the community college was an Associate in Applied Science or Applied Art degree and the career opportunities that the AAS or the AAA provided.

Today, that same Applied Associate degree can be your passport to a four-year baccalaureate degree at UNC Pembroke through the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) Degree Program.

With UNC Pembroke?s BIS Degree Program, your Applied Associate degree now acts as the gateway to a bachelor?s degree and a rewarding career in your area of choice. Since this degree means you are no longer limited in continuing your education, the BIS allows you to move forward with your educational goals. If you have been looking for a way to transition into a baccalaureate degree program without losing many of the credits from your AAS degree, the BIS is a perfect fit for you?no matter what major you select or what AAS degree you earned at the Community College.
