Program Features

Internships

Because Integrated Studies allows you to shape your own academic path, internships play a vital role in helping clarify your professional direction and connect your coursework to real-world settings. Students have interned in a wide range of industries—including media, nonprofits, education, government, business, and ministry—based on their individual career goals. These opportunities not only build your résumé but also provide insight into the career paths that best align with your strengths and interests. Many internships lead to job offers, professional networks, or inspiration for graduate study.

Choose Your Path: B.A. or B.S. in Integrated Studies

The Integrated Studies degree is offered in two formats—Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.). Both provide the same strong foundation in your program of interest, but the difference lies in the supporting coursework. The B.A. track includes a foreign language requirement, while the B.S. track emphasizes additional lab science. This flexibility allows you to choose the path that best matches your strengths, career goals, and academic interests.
