Bachelor of Science in Multidisciplinary Studies

As a busy working adult with a desire to further your education, earning your Bachelor of Science in Multidisciplinary Studies will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to achieve your professional goals and succeed in your chosen career.

Liberty University’s® Bachelor of Science in Multidisciplinary Studies is designed for the adult learner, like you, with college credit in varying disciplines. This program enables you to combine your previous academic and work experiences in two or three distinct cognates, allowing for faster degree completion than a traditional major requiring many additional hours in one specific field. This program is especially beneficial for military or public service personnel with previous college credit or life experience in more than one specific academic regimen. Courses focus on developing strong skills in writing, speaking, and reading, as well as analytical reasoning, computer literacy, and library research. In correlation to previously earned credit, you may create a customized 120 credit hour degree plan by selecting cognates of interest.

The Bachelor of Science in Multidisciplinary Studies serves as an excellent stepping-stone toward earning any one of our master’s degree programs also offered online through Liberty University Online.
