IDS is no longer accepting applications for students transferring within the Near You Network, including UA’s location in Yuma, AZ. If you are interested in pursuing a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, consider transferring to either the main campus in Tucson or to Arizona Online. Please reach out to us if you have questions about your options.
Transfer Up to 75 Community College Credits
The Interdisciplinary Studies Program is pleased to announce that as of Fall 2022, students transferring to any University of Arizona location to pursue a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) degree can apply up to 75 units from a community college to their degree plan.
This signals a shift from the previous limit of 64 community college credits that could be applied to this bachelor’s degree. There will be no alteration regarding the regulations and practices in evaluating the transferability of credits to the University. This credit limit amendment allows more transferrable credits to be applied directly in pursuit of the bachelor’s degree. The College of Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies Program sought this increase to help fulfill the land-grant mission of the University of Arizona by providing an opportunity for a diverse segment of our student population, including many who transfer from Arizona community colleges, to complete their college degree in a timely manner.
If you have questions about the application of transfer credits to your BIS degree plan, please reach out to your academic advisor.
Program Launching Spring 2023

Degree Overview and Theme Options
Your associate degree plus 60 additional units of Interdisciplinary Studies coursework earns you a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) degree from the University of Arizona. You can now transfer up to 75 community college credits to the Interdisciplinary Studies program that we will work into your degree plan to get you closer to graduation. The Interdisciplinary Studies degree was created in 2010 by a committee of faculty members from across the University of Arizona. They designed the degree as a broad, interdisciplinary course of study rather than a traditional major. The degree provides students with a flexible yet structured program covering a broad range of interests and disciplines.
The IDS program offers courses in 3 different degree plans:
- Economy and Industry
- Social Behavior and Human Understanding
- Science, Technology, Health, and Society
You will support your studies in the degree path of your choice by taking courses in 3 different concentrations, with 9 units required in each. In addition to the thematic areas above, you can select a concentration in the following areas: Global and Intercultural Understanding; Sports and Society; Arts, Media, and Entertainment; and Studies of the American Experience.
The majority of your courses are in the degree plan that you choose, with 36 units required. These 3 themed options deliver courses from disciplines across the social sciences, business, sciences, technology, and humanities. While focusing on one of the themes, you will develop skills in oral and written communication, critical analysis and research, and learn to think about and solve problems using multiple theories and methods—obtaining a truly multidisciplinary education.
The UArizona degree completion program also encourages you to get real world experience in your chosen area and participate in an internship. Studies have demonstrated the importance of internships in post-graduation employment success. The National Association of Colleges and Employers found that “65% of paid interns in the class of 2012 had at least one job offer when they graduated. Of those who did no internship only about 40% had an offer.” And the 2012 Maguire Associates survey concluded that “More important than where they went to college, the major they pursued, and even their grade point average, an internship is the single more important credential for college graduates.” The 2014 Maguire Survey reaffirmed the importance of internships, but also found that employers emphasize communication, critical thinking and problem-solving skills – the key assets of a liberal arts education.
Our IDS program graduates have found employment in diverse fields such as:
- Advertising
- Sales
- Government
- Media
- Entertainment
- Non-profit Organizations
- Public Relations
- Marketing
- Law enforcement
- Health Care
Other IDS graduates have gone onto to pursue graduate degrees in areas such as:
- Media arts
- Nursing
- Museum studies
- Social sciences, such as Anthropology or Political science
- Humanities, such as philosophy
- Law school
- Social work
- Medical school
Once you have been admitted as a Wildcat, you will work with advisors in the College of Humanities at UA to chart your path to success.

HUMS 395 Burdens of Proof: History of Forensic Medicine (SBHU/STHS)
Instructor: Victoria Meyer
Hybrid; Regular Semester
Monday 4-6:15pm (primarily taught out of Chandler; ITV other locations)
The intersection of medicine and the law is vast and multi-dimensional since they both revolve around the human experience and the individual versus society. Both elite physicians and popular healers have been involved in with legal systems in an official capacity for millennia, but their roles and the nature of their involvement has varied widely. Just as the nature of legal and disciplinary systems have fluctuated through time and place. The professional treatment of disease (medicine) and the law are both systems that reflect the societies in which they overlap. This means that we can see both continuities and change over time and between societies. In this course, we will focus on the facets of this relationship in the West: Western Europe and North America. In our focus on the emergence of forensic medicine—an area of medical practice and theory that provides guidance in the operation of the law—we will explore the different forms of legal medicine in Western history. This involves looking at different communities of medical practitioners as they operated in different systems of governance and justice—both assisting and complicating understandings of the law. We will focus in particular on how, why, and to what ends investigators inspected the human body. We will also explore forensic science, though as it historically becomes increasingly distinct from medicine we will look mainly at specifically medical subfields like forensic pathology and toxicology. Throughout, however, we will take a broad view of what counts as legal medicine. We will be reading a number of key secondary texts on the topic, as well as reading through primary source documents such as court records, political treatises, popular literature, medical books, and newspapers.
IDS 396 Industrial Revolutions: Past & Present (SBHU/ECI)
Instructor: Victoria Meyer
Hybrid; Regular Semester>
Wednesday 4-6:15pm (primarily taught out of Chandler; ITV other locations)
Much discontent and conflict in modern times is related to economic status and differences, between groups within societies and between nations. As we try to address contemporary economic struggles and predict the next industrial revolution, we can look to the past to answer why there are such differences. We can begin to understand the roots of our modern economies and structure of daily life through a case study on the first major industrial revolution in Britain of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This semester we will explore the history of the British industrial revolution in an increasingly global age with the rapid expansion of empire. We will explore not only what happened, but also historiographical debates about why it happened when it did and where it did. We will also seek to understand the social impact of the industrial revolution and how different groups, from young and old to rural and urban to women and men, experience the industrial and technological transformations. We will explore such themes as urbanization and mechanization, population growth, foreign markets and empire, consumerism and enlightened culture, and child labor. We will then compare this to case studies from the second industrial revolution which began circa the 1870s and revolved around the impact of gasoline and the third revolution which began in the 1950s and revolved around electronics and nuclear energy.
IDS 496 Voices of the Borderlands (SBHU/GIU)
Instructor: Abraham Villarreal
Regular Semester
Tuesday/Thursday 4:30-5:45pm (primarily taught out of Douglas; ITV other locations)
The course exposes the voices and narratives of people living in the southwest borderland area of the U.S.-Mexico border during the 21st century. Students will examine how we use stories to share the human condition and our histories, which serve to establish our cultural identities. Short stories, personal narratives, and poetry will be reviewed as inspiration on how students can develop their own voices in expressing identity, struggles, hopes, and dreams through writing. The course will include guest speakers from the borderlands who will share the work they do in supporting migrant communities in Sonora, Mexico. Optional, volunteer opportunities will be presented as an avenue for students to experience hands-on activities that will strengthen their communication skills through reflective and narrative writing about their new experiences. Each student will develop their own “Voice of the Borderland” narrative that will be exhibited at the Mexican Consulate office in Douglas, Arizona.

HUMS 378 Playing Doctor: Images of Medicine and Health in film (AMENT/STHS)
Instructor: Victoria Meyer
7 week 2
Tuesday/Thursday 4-5:30pm (primarily taught out of Chandler)
In this course, we will examine how different aspects of health, illness, patients, and medical practitioners have been portrayed in film. Our aim is to explore what we can learn about how different societies in different time periods have viewed disease and the medical field. We will also explore how can we use film as documents, both primary and secondary, to understand medicine and society more broadly in the past. This requires awareness of the historical context of the films themselves. We will ask what different definitions of "disease" or public health have existed and been used in film. How have some aspects of the medical profession or certain illnesses been portrayed and why? How has film been used as a tool of rhetoric and how has film influenced our understandings of medicine and even our own bodies? We will also compare other "images" of health and medicine in both art and in literature.

HUMS 396 Global Engagement (GIU/ECI)
Instructor: Daniel Aguirre
Regular Semester
Thursday 1-3:30pm (primarily taught out of Chandler; ITV other locations)
The course aims to offer students an opportunity to learn how to recognize scenarios where humanities-centered approximations might provide potential solutions to societal issues. Drawing on fields such as economic development, communication, cultural studies and international relations, the course presents students to notions of global actorship at various levels and within different spheres, providing those who complete the course a set of distinct strategic tools and knowledge for future professions. The units covered throughout the semester include –among others– understanding recent global economic development issues, structures and actors participating in the globalization and fragmentation of the international order, and communications from cultural and technologically mediated optics.

HUMS 495 Issues in Death, Dying, and Grief (SBHU/STHS)
Instructor: Victoria Meyer
Regular Semester
Monday/Weds 3:30-4:45pm (primarily taught out of North Valley; ITV other locations)
Death comes to us all making it one of the few universal human experiences. Yet, death, dying and bereavement take place in different socio-cultural, interpersonal, and individual contexts. Humans respond to death in different ways and all religious and philosophical traditions attempt to come to grips with it. In this course, we will explore these diverse perspectives and practices through an interdisciplinary analysis. We will discuss Western traditions and modern viewpoints and approaches, as well as global customs and beliefs of death and mourning. Students will explore their own perspectives of loss and gain understanding of how their perspective impacts their response to others. Specific topics will include cultural and medical factors shaping a “good death”; funeral practices; imagery of death; trauma and death; understandings of the afterlife; legal and ethical debates; suicide and euthanasia.
______
HUMS 496 Technology and Social Progress (STHS/ECI)
Instructor: Seth Rachlin
7 week 1
Tuesday/Thursday 5-6:30pm (primarily taught out of Chandler; ITV other locations)
For many, technology and social progress are highly correlated, if not synonymous. The salutary impact of technology is indisputable. But with technological advancement comes consequences in the form of new economic, social and political risks – economists call them externalities -- which are often significant and typically born unequally by individuals and groups in modern societies. Policies, programs and contractual schemes to address such risks, the joint province of government and the private sector, usually significantly trail their emergence. In this course, we will apply an institutionalist perspective to the specific case of information technology and its disruptive impact on economy, culture, and politics. We will study the “gig economy” and the challenge of providing the protections of a social safety net to a world of freelancers. We will consider the erosion of traditional notions of objectivity and institutional authority brought about by the “democratization of information” enabled by social media. We will explore the new face of cyber warfare in which nations and non-state actors challenge one another with bytes as well as bombs. And ultimately, we will ask what the monopolies of the new Gilded Age of Big Tech mean for the freedom of citizens and the future of democracy. Should we act now to redirect the path we are on? Can we?

It is, according to linguistic anthropologist Robert L. Moore, the most popular slang term of approval in English. "Cool" more than a word. This course investigates the idea of "cool" in America and its musical relationship to urban culture through various genres of African-American music. The rise to prominence of "cool" will be analyzed through and investigation of the music of Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, West Coast jazz, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Iggy Pop, The Ramones, Sugar Hill Gang, and Grandmaster Flash along with their music's effect on social mores, fashion, film, and literature.

In order to conceptualize the way gender and ethnicity has shaped women's lives in the public and private domain students will "hear" the voices of African American women in ethnography, history and literature as we discuss the Africana concepts of life, health, beauty and family. The experiences of these women, as expressed in literature have become "formidable" presences in African American culture and history. The self-expression and self-definition, expressed by African American women's voices have generated social and political changes in American history that have also impacted the dominant Euro-American culture of American society.

HIST 478A The Global Sixties (SBHU/GIU)
This course addresses the larger chronological and spatial framework around the year 1968. We explore the evolution of political ideas from decolonization to urban renewal, from labor to civil rights. We look at the formation of new categories, new political subjects like student organizations, gender and ethnic-based groups. We follow the effects that the political upheaval of the 1960s had on intellectuals and on political theories. Finally, we investigate the exhaustion and consumption of this global political event in memory and popular culture. The course also questions whether there is a global historical sense to "the sixties." What links these events besides the fact that they are happening in the same decade?

HUMS 395 Government in the Economy (ECI/SAE)
What is the economic rationale for government? Which functions should government perform and which dimensions of our lives are best left to the private sector? For example, how should society deal with social security, education, welfare, and health care? How should the economy provide for such things as a national defense, flood control, parks and playgrounds, libraries, and highways? Who should receive the benefits of these goods and services - and who should pay their costs? How do we evaluate the costs and benefits of government policies and programs? This course provides the framework for studying all these issues and more. We will investigate the roles of the federal, state, and local governments in influencing the allocation of resources in the economy. In particular, we will examine the revenue and expenditure structure of the various levels of government and the role the government plays in correcting/causing market failure.

PAH 378 Playing Doctor: Images of Medicine in Health (AMENT/STHS)
In this course, we will examine how different aspects of health, illness, patients, and medical practitioners have been portrayed in film. Our aim is to explore what we can learn about how different societies in different time periods have viewed disease and the medical field. We will also explore how can we use film as documents, both primary and secondary, to understand medicine and society more broadly in the past. This requires awareness of the historical context of the films themselves. We will ask what different definitions of "disease" or public health have existed and been used in film. How have some aspects of the medical profession or certain illnesses been portrayed and why? How has film been used as a tool of rhetoric and how has film influenced our understandings of medicine and even our own bodies? We will also compare other "images" of health and medicine in both art and in literature.
