Student Works and Experiences
Success Stories
"I chose the Honours Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies degree because it let me use credits from my previous diploma and it allowed me to take an array of different course types. I had been away from academia for about a decade and did not know where my interests may lie. Because of this, the degree piqued my interest as it provided the ability to take courses in both hard and soft sciences.”
