The Self-Design Degree Program is an interdisciplinary program at NC State that enables students to create a unique educational experience leading to either a BA or a BS degree. The degree requires students to combine courses from multiple disciplines demonstrating the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and solving problems in today's complex world. The Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) Self-Design B.A. or B.S. options exist to allow undergraduate students to design a major in an area of academic interest that crosses disciplinary boundaries and creates a unique educational experience. The Self-Design Major program is one of the programs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (H&SS). Therefore, students in the program must meet all the general education requirements for H&SS Majors.
