Multidisciplinary Studies

Our BS in Multidisciplinary Studies (BSMDS) and BAAS in Professional Studies (BAASPS) programs are designed to help you build a degree that aligns with your career goals, and there are several ways they support your job search:

• Career-focused advising: You’ll work with the program director and academic advisors who help you plan a path that supports your professional goals.
• Internship opportunities: You can complete an internship for hands-on experience.
• Career connections: Offers resume help, mock interviews, job fairs, and connections to employers looking for TWU grads.
• Career-ready skills for a changing job market: Both programs equip you with essential skills in communication, collaboration, networking, and adaptability – key competencies employers seek across multiple industries.

So, while the program is flexible, it’s backed by strong support to help you transition confidently into the workforce.

This degree can prepare you for graduate school if you specialize later.

All courses taken for academic credit from regionally accredited colleges will transfer to TWU. Some will apply toward degree requirements, and some may count as electives.

Remedial or developmental courses taken in preparation for college-level academic credit are not accepted.

Technical or Work Force Education (WECM) courses are not accepted unless the student is pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Arts & Sciences (BAAS) or Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) and/or the courses have been approved for use by the receiving academic unit.

For current TWU students who wish to change their major, complete the Undergraduate Change of Major Request form and make an appointment with a BSMDS/BAASPS academic advisor. To apply the change to the current semester, submit it before the census date. If you're switching from a BAAS degree to another program, you must reapply through the Admissions office.
