The BIS is a bachelor's degree completion program offered through Miami University's regional campuses in Hamilton and Middletown and the Voice of America Learning Center.
Integrative learning is a process by which students connect knowledge and skills from multiple sources and experiences, apply knowledge and skills in varied settings, analyze diverse points of view, and understand issues contextually.
The Bachelor of Integrative Studies program allows students to pursue coursework from multiple fields of study, departments, and disciplines, making connections above them and pursuing a degree program that meets their career, educational, or personal goals and values.
Graduates earning the Bachelor of Integrative Studies degree will have demonstrated expertise as critical, creative, and reflective thinkers, self-directed problem-solvers, communicators, collaborators and integrators, along with specific content knowledge in a variety of areas.

There will be some limitations number of seats in the required BIS 201, BIS 301, and BIS 401 seminars, but we will endeavor to match the number of seats with the number of applications to the program. The seminars must be taken in sequence in three separate terms, and in most semesters all three seminars will be available every term at one or more of the regional locations.
