Requirements for Major
The core and distribution requirements for a major in interdisciplinary studies are those listed for baccalaureate degrees . A course fulfilling an IDS major requirement may not fulfill a core distribution requirement.
Major and Supporting Course Requirements
Interdisciplinary studies majors will propose a course of study by selecting three concentrations offered by the college; one of the three selected concentrations will be the primary concentration. The only disciplines that may be considered as primary (P) are those that have a Capstone sequence. Within this discipline, students will complete classes essential for completing the Capstone sequence (in that major). Interdisciplinary Studies majors will participate in the Capstone experience within their primary concentration along with students majoring in that discipline. Doing so also enables students to have a more solid theoretical and methodological foundation for doing Capstone research and writing, while also giving them a Capstone cohort experience. The other two accompanying concentrations will function as secondary concentrations. A faculty member from the major’s primary concentration will direct the student’s Capstone project, while the coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Studies Program will serve as a second reader. At least 6 hours of each concentration must be completed at Covenant.
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:
Accounting * (P)

* 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 and begin organizing a draft of future fall and spring semester schedules to ensure prerequisites are completed before core and concentration requirements need to be scheduled. If a course is required or is an elective in multiple concentrations, the course will be counted toward only one concentration, and a substitute for the other concentration must be approved by the concentration department.
