How Do I Get Accepted into the Program?

After meeting with the IS academic advisor, you will be in a position to fill out the official application form, which lays out all the courses required for graduation as an Integrated Studies major. Pay close attention to the requirements for each of your emphases, and to the IS core. Note that the upper-division philosophy or theory courses should correlate with your emphases (the course, Business and Professional Ethics, for instance, is a good complement to a Business Management emphasis, Aesthetics for English or Dance, Biomedical Ethics for Community Health or Biology, and so on).

In your admission essay, demonstrate to the committee that you can write well, that the degree is good for you, and that you understand the requirement of a senior project/thesis that integrates your two emphases (the topic you propose here may change before you start Capstone 1, but it is good for you to begin thinking about topics early).

After you turn in your application form and essay, a committee of IS faculty members will review the application and make a recommendation.
