Interdisciplinary Studies Sports Psychology from Brigham Young University - Laie is a Campus Bachelor Personality Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. Admission to Program The Interdisciplinary Studies major is intended to meet the needs of the following students: 1. Highly motivated students with clearly defined academic and/or career goals that cannot be satisfied by completing any other established major program. 2. Transfer students with significant subject matter background in an area or major that BYU- Hawaii does not offer. 3. Returning students or others (i.e., ITEP students) that have completed significant coursework that is no longer relevant to the student's goals or cannot be effectively applied to the requirements of any other major. 4. Students who are unable to complete all of the requirements of an established major during their allotted time at BYU-Hawaii. The Discipline The IDS major effectively allows the student to propose a customized, interdisciplinary program leading to a Bachelor's degree . The program is designed to be flexible within certain limits. IDS proposals will NOT be approved that: 1. Lead to a second Bachelor's degree. You may not use IDS as a "double major." 2. Constitute a less-rigorous version of an existing program. You cannot, for example, create an international business program (an established major) without any economics or statistics classes. Career Opportunities The choice of this type of degree needs to be carefully considered in relation to what career opportunities it will provide. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, it may not lead to job or graduate school opportunities which require a rigorous, structured course load in a single subject. Please discuss this with your faculty advisor(s).
