The Interdepartmental Studies Program offers a undergraduate major, where students choose one of three tracks for the major: applied human services, business studies, or health science. Detailed requirements for the major are available in the UI General Catalog.

CLAS Residence Requirement

All students in any major offered by CLAS must complete the 30 semester hour CLAS residence requirement in order to earn a CLAS degree. Students must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit from courses administered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences or otherwise designated as carrying residence credit. All honors courses and courses with CLAS General Education status are counted toward fulfilling the CLAS residence requirement.

Courses offered by the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB, or BIOC prior to fall 2022) and Microbiology and Immunology (MICR) are offered by the Carver College of Medicine. Courses offered by these departments do not generally count for the CLAS residence requirement. However, if you earn a major from one of these departments, the credit hours of the courses that are applied to the major from these department course codes will be counted toward the CLAS residence requirement. Only the undergraduate majors from the departments listed above qualify for this exception.
