The BS in Interdisciplinary Sciences (ISC) is a multidisciplinary program that provides a strong foundation in one area of the sciences and flexibility to add content and skills from other Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering (HMCSE) STEM programs.
Why Study Interdisciplinary Sciences at UWF?
The academic goal of the BS in Interdisciplinary Sciences (ISC) is to afford you the opportunity to make connections between ideas and concepts across disciplinary boundaries and to be capable of defining and examining scientific problems from an interdisciplinary perspective.
This multidisciplinary program offers considerable flexibility in STEM content with equally flexible modes of delivery. You can complete coursework face-to-face at the main Pensacola campus, at UWF Emerald Coast in Fort Walton Beach, or online.
What You Will Learn
The BS in Interdisciplinary Sciences is built upon a foundation within the UWF HMCSE STEM disciplines (Biology, Earth & Environmental Sciences and Computer Science) and allows for additional coursework from Chemistry, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics.
The program content enables you to develop competencies across various STEM disciplines and apply previously earned credit in preparation for diverse STEM occupations and graduate school.
UWF offers classes through various delivery methods, including face-to-face, hybrid, and online. Though UWF makes every effort to provide on-campus classes in face-to-face programs, there is a possibility that some classes will have limited availability and may be offered online only. For more information, please review the modes of delivery and instructional methods.
