About the Online + Arts and Sciences Multidisciplinary Studies, B.S.

The Bachelor of Science in Arts and Sciences Multidisciplinary Studies is a flexible degree program consisting of three science, technology, engineering, or mathematics concentration areas. Any STEM-focused academic minor recognized at TTU may be used as a concentration area, and the concentration area will follow the curricula of that academic minor. Further, two of the three concentration areas will be within the College of Arts & Sciences. To view all available academic minors offered by TTU, please refer to the Academic Programs (A-Z)  section of this catalog. This program benefits Texas Tech students with STEM interests who may not be drawn to the traditional degree programs offered. Students in this program will be prepared to apply to graduate and health sciences programs of study. Advisors work one-on-one with each student to understand their academic and career goals and determine the most complementary combination of concentrations.

‡ Foreign Language: A student must complete 3 hours at the sophomore level or above in a single language. The prerequisite for all sophomore language courses is credit for the freshman level.  This credit can be determined through a credit by examination. The score attained on the exam will determine whether the student is placed in a second-year course, a 5-hour review course, or in some cases the first or second semester of a beginning (first-year) language course. See Arts and Sciences General Degree Requirements  for further explanation.
