Students seeking the Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies without teacher certification must fulfill University Core Curriculum requirements. Visit the UTSA Undergraduate Catalog for a complete list of Core Curriculum requirements.

One area of specialization must be selected by the student seeking the IDS degree-only concentration. This involves a sequence of courses, with a minimum of 18–24 semester credit hours, including 6 hours at the upper-division level, in one specific area or discipline. The area of specialization should not include coursework in the IDS core or IDS required courses. Assistance in selection is available from the Interdisciplinary Education Advising and Certification Center. Students are encouraged to select their area of specialization as early in their program as possible.
