The IPS/BAS 495 Course centers around a Capstone Project which is the final course taken by students within the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Professional Studies (IPS) and the Bachelor of Applied Science Programs. The capstone projects are a final requirement for graduation.
The Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Professional Studies (IPS) helps students take creative ownership of their education by combining their ideas and experiences with new, interdisciplinary learning opportunities to better understand context and discover new connections; to create mindful, collaborative, and productive relationships; and to become reflective and adaptive learners.
The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) is an interdisciplinary degree that capitalizes on, and complements, a technical associate degree (AAS). The BAS Degree builds on students' technical expertise.
