Wellness - Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (BS IND)

The Interdisciplinary Studies Program at Concord University offers students the opportunity to design a course of study that meets a particular career or professional need not available in a single existing degree program. Scholars recognize that exciting career challenges cut across traditional specialties and demand expertise in more than one subject area.

This is not an appropriate degree option for the student who is undecided about a major. However, it is the ideal program choice for the student with a Wellness career plan that is multi-disciplinary and includes professional goals that are quite specific.
