The Bachelor of Arts degree in Integrated Studies is a multidisciplinary approach that allows students to chart a program of study that combines courses from different but related subjects that are applicable to their career goals.
A Bachelor of Arts with a major in Integrated Studies requires a total of 120 semester hours, composed of required Jax MIX Courses, Integrated Studies Support Courses, and Integrated Studies Major Courses.
The 41 required hours of Jax MIX coursework cannot be used to meet any other Integrated Studies requirements.
Students must also successfully complete SSC 101 First Year Experience (0).
