Bachelor of Science in Integrated Science with Science and Art Concentration
ObjectivesPreparation for any career that requires a breadth of scientific and humanistic knowledge, this field offers an individualized program that instills the literacy, critical, analytical and problem-solving skills acquired only through the study of both the sciences and the humanities and social sciences. A program in science and the arts consists of a science sequence in one or more areas of concentration and a non-science sequence of arts and social science credits developed by you in consultation with an ISI advisor.
