A Bachelor of Independent Studies is an undergraduate academic degree.
A similarly name Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies is also awarded by some universities.
The Bachelor of Independent Studies targets adult learners previously unable to complete their educational pursuits, through transfer credit options and interdisciplinary concentrations tailored to each student.
In Kentucky, Murray State University[7] now offers a BIS program as well.
George Mason University's BIS degree includes Early Childhood Education and calls it the Bachelor of Individualized Studies.
