Bachelor of Innovation™ (BI) Degree

The Bachelor of Innovation (BI) is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program. The BI™ is a family of degrees, much like a bachelor of science or a bachelor of arts.  It is a very structured program that consists of an Innovation Core, a Cross-Discipline Core, a major field of study, general education courses and Compass Curriculum requirements.  The Cross-Discipline Core helps to ensure the breadth needed for innovation.  Compass Curriculum requirements are mostly fulfilled by the Innovation Core courses.  General education requirements are determined by the College and department in which the major is offered.

The Colleges of Business, Education, Engineering, and Letters, Arts, and Sciences all offer BI degrees.

The minimum number of credit hours needed to graduate with a BI degree is 120 credit hours. At least 45 hours of the total must be upper division (3000+ level) credit.  Some BI degrees require more than 120 hours to graduate.  Please see each program's catalog page (below) or webpage for more information.
