Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies Program

Earn a U.Va. degree without leaving Hampton Roads.
Virginia BIS Information Sessions
The University of Virginia and Tidewater Community College offer an adult degree completion program exclusively for Tidewater Community College students. The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) program is a part-time, but rigorous, undergraduate degree program with evening and weekend classes designed to meet the educational needs of the adult student.
This transfer program builds on students' previous college work and offers liberal arts courses that promote critical thinking and analytical skills. Dedicated faculty, individual advising and small classes provide a small college experience within a large university.
What's new?
- BIS has launched Spring Admissions for the TCC/BIS program.
You now have an opportunity to begin your UVA studies at TCC
in either the fall or spring semester.
- BIS now offers intensive two-week courses in January and in May both at Tidewater and in Charlottesville. You can supplement your
fall, spring, and summer course work with additional three-credit
courses just prior to the start of spring and summer terms.
- Students are typically completing their UVA degrees at TCC in three to four
years. In spring 2007 the first TCC/BIS student earned her UVA
degree; 3 more followed in summer 2007 and 17 completed in May and
"Walked the Lawn" with all the other UVA degree candidates.
