The program offers foundation courses and opportunities to focus on a particular area of academic interest. Your final capstone research paper or project will allow you to apply your studies to engage deeply with a challenge that interests you.

You can build from here

Your undergraduate degree can open the door for you to continue with graduate studies at Royal Roads. Continue with a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies or choose another graduate program related to your Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies focus area.

  • interpersonal, intercultural and public communication
  • research, analysis and problem-solving
  • personal and team leadership
  • critical thinking and the ability to use values and ethics to develop solutions
  • understanding local and global interdependencies

Your course choices will form the context of your learning. You'll be able to build and lead effective teams across sectors, to make a difference in areas that matter to you.

Learn more at www.royalroads.ca/challenge.

Two-year degree completion (third-year entry)

You can choose to complete this program in one of two ways:

  1. entirely online
  2. through a blend of online courses and on-campus residencies

Online Courses

Online courses consist of assigned readings, synchronous or asynchronous lectures, interactive discussions, and individual and team assignments.

You’re expected to meet deadlines and contribute meaningfully to your class. Your contributions are a big part of everyone’s learning.

Normally, you’ll take one or two online courses at a time. Each online course requires approximately 20 hours of work per week.

Residency

You have the option of completing this program through a blended format, which includes online courses and on-campus residencies.

Residencies last for two or three weeks and are intensive and immersive. Many students say this time together is the highlight of their program.

During your residency, you can expect to:

  • attend classes full time (e.g., Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
  • complete homework and individual and team assignments outside of class hours
  • take part in extracurricular activities

Courses

The Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (BAIS) is a 60-credit program. There are five mandatory courses, including the foundation and capstone courses, and the rest of the courses are electives.

The program includes three components:

  1. required courses (INDS 300, 310 and 400)
  2. an academic focus area
  3. a professional focus area with independent study and a capstone research paper or project

Required courses

You'll begin the program with three courses to introduce you to the learning community, help you understand learning outcomes for the program, and guide you to establish your academic and career goals. These courses include the following:

  • Writing Across Disciplines
  • Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies
  • Global Perspectives on Indigenous Ways of Knowing

Academic focus area

After completing the foundational courses, you'll take courses in your academic area of focus. You can choose from courses online or on campus.

There are four ways of taking courses:

  1. Choose from a list of approved online courses at Royal Roads University in the areas of interdisciplinary studies, business, professional communication, environmental practice and science or justice studies.
  2. Complete a Professional Communication or Justice Studies residency on campus. All courses within a specific residency are mandatory and must be taken together.
  3. Take up to 12 approved credits that complement your program from another post-secondary institution. You'll need approval from the program head prior to taking any external courses.
  4. Complete an optional 6-credit internship, if this fits for your professional life. We can support you to find your own placement.

Professional focus area

Once you have completed all of your coursework, you'll finish with a 3-credit independent study and a 6-credit (200-hour) capstone senior research paper or project.

The independent study and final project are designed so you can demonstrate your applied research skills and understanding of research ethics and methods.

For your capstone project you can engage in primary or secondary research. You'll be paired with a faculty member who has expertise in your area of focus. This faculty member will supervise your independent study and research paper or project.

Courses

The Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (BAIS) Program is a third and fourth year (60 credit total) undergraduate online or blended program that can be tailored to a student's unique interests and schedule, enabling them to maintain their full-time professional commitments while taking courses. Students work closely with the BAIS program advisor to create their personal, unique program of study that combines courses from diverse disciplines leading towards a culminating professional focus capstone.

Required Introductory Courses

The BAIS program begins with  three required courses: INDS300: Writing across Disciplines; INDS310: Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies; and INDS400: Global Perspectives on Indigenous Ways of Knowing. These courses are offered online, and scheduled sequentially (Sept to April).

First-year entry (4-year undergraduate degree)

First-year entry is for students coming from high school (or equivalent). Please review the year 1 admission and application requirements for more information. 

Third-year entry (degree completion - 3rd & 4th year)

Standard admission

Diploma (or 60 credits) in arts and sciences fields of study, including a minimum of 24 second-year credits, with a minimum GPA of 'B' (3.00/4.33), from a recognized post-secondary institution.

Flexible admission

While 60 credits in arts and sciences fields of study are recommended, applicants may be assessed for admission on the basis of their skills, knowledge and background developed outside traditional learning structures. Flexible admission applicants would normally have 3 to 5 years of professional experience in a related area and be able to demonstrate the competencies expected of a graduate with a two-year degree in the arts and sciences.

English language proficiency

If English is not your primary language, please review our English language requirements.

Additional recommendations for admission

Ideal candidates are self-directed and highly motivated and possess strong communication skills. BAIS students move between cohorts, groups of students, and post-secondary institutions and need to be comfortable with completing an individualized program, integrating into student teams in different programs, and navigating enrolment and registration at more than one institution.

First-year entry (4-year undergraduate degree)

First-year entry is for students coming from high school (or equivalent). Please review the year 1 admission and application requirements for more information. 

Third-year entry (degree completion - 3rd & 4th year)

Before your file can be assessed for admission, the following information & supporting documents are required for entry to third year.  

Application form

In order to apply online, you will be required to create a log-in account using your email address. You will be required to list all credit courses and/or programs you have completed or are currently enrolled in. An application fee will be required. If your application fees are being paid by a third party, review sponsored student information. Once submitted, you may check the status of your application at any time.

Official transcripts

Applicants are responsible for arranging for the submission of official transcripts from ALL post-secondary (higher education) institutions currently or previously attended, for all credit courses and/or programs. Transcripts are not required for non-credit programs or courses, though some programs may require proof of professional certifications or designations.

Transcripts are considered official only if submitted directly by the Registrar or other recognized authority of the providing institution in the institution's original, sealed envelope. If the envelope has been opened, the transcripts are no longer official and new (official) transcripts will be required to complete your application.

All international transcripts or credentials are subject to an international transcript and/or credential evaluation.

If applicable:

  • Applicants declaring permanent resident or Convention Refugee status in Canada, must submit a copy of their Permanent Resident Card (PR card) along with their application.
  • Transcript evaluation fee or credential evaluation report, if submitting international transcripts.
  • An official English language proficiency score report or other evidence of proficiency if English is not your primary language.
  • Other information or documents as may be requested to determine your eligibility.

For information on how and where to send your supporting documents, please refer to the document submission guidelines.

Proposed course schedule

As part of the application process, all applicants must work directly with the College of Interdisciplinary Studies to design a program schedule which identifies courses to be taken as part of the program. The process of developing such an individualized schedule takes approximately one month; an application is not considered complete until it contains a schedule that has been endorsed by the applicant and the College of Interdisciplinary Studies.
