Bachelor of Integrated Studies

The Bachelor of Integrated Studies (BIS) is an interdisciplinary degree that allows you to select 3 areas or emphases and develop a contract of courses with the departments of your choice. A final capstone project is required, which brings together the 3 areas of emphases.

An emphasis in child and family studies provides you with knowledge of family relations and child growth and development.
