 Return to: Academic Programs/Majors
The Bachelor of Science in Individualized Studies (BSIS) builds upon the academic strength and framework of UW-Stout’s online customized instruction programs and is focused on returning adults, transfer, and reentry students seeking to advance their careers with degree completion. The student-focused BSIS degree program embraces credit for prior learning and previously earned credits by embedding them within the design of an individualized degree program. This degree-completion program is designed to encourage creativity and allow students to pursue vocational goals outside of discipline-specific majors at UW-Stout. Students must complete their last 32 credits from UW-Stout.
