Interdisciplinary Studies with Concentrations

Total degree hours: 126

Major and Supporting Course Requirements

A course fulfilling an IDS major requirement may not fulfill a core distribution requirement. The “S” course requirement can be met with any “S” course in one of the student’s concentrations. A combined minimum of 48 hours outlined below:

• IDS 201 Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies 3 hour(s).
• IDS 492 Capstone Project in Interdisciplinary Studies 3 hour(s).
• Courses chosen from 3 areas of concentration: 42 hours.

Minimum total IDS major hours required: 48

A minimum of 36 non-core hours must be earned in three disciplines. This includes a minimum of 12 non-core hours in each chosen discipline. At least 15 of the 48 hours must be 300 level or higher, and at least 6 hours of each concentration must be completed at Covenant. Each discipline has its own requirements. If two concentrations share a course requirement, consult your advisor to select a substitute elective for one of the concentrations. Three disciplines are chosen from the following:

* Of the four business department concentrations (Accounting, Business, Marketing, and Sport Management), only one of the four may be included as an IDS concentration.

Students should consult the respective departments early in their sophomore year to determine the frequency that required courses are offered. Then, begin organizing a draft of future fall and spring semester schedules to insure prerequisites are completed before core and concentration requirements need to be scheduled.
