Independent Concentration - Boston University

Independent Concentration from Boston University is a Campus Bachelor Interdisciplinary Studies degree that prepares you for a Science career. The University Professors Program is an interdisciplinary program for gifted students. Often abbreviated as "UNI," the program boasts jauntily, proudly, and accurately that it is "UNIque." The fundamental purpose is to build bridges between disciplines. In an age of rampant specialization, UNI dedicates itself to creating and sustaining conversations that cross disciplinary boundaries. It does so by combining thoughtful structure with unusual freedom. Each undergraduate begins our program by participating in courses we call the "Core": these small, seminar-style classes emphasize analytical reading and writing in the domains of the humanities, the social sciences, and the sciences. In the second year the student, in close consultation with one or more advisors, begins to select courses that will prepare for the culminating exercise -- an ambitious senior thesis that might link such fields as physics and philosophy, religion and literature, or politics and anthropology. Throughout the program, each student works in an intimate community of fellow explorers and distinguished scholars, who are themselves teaching and writing across the disciplines. Our students are not only "UNIque," they are also "UBIque" (Latin for "everywhere"). They travel intellectually across the globe and even the UNIverse--going on to careers of distinction in every conceivable field, equipped with the skills and fired by the curiosity that our program instills.
