Program details:
The BS in interdisciplinary studies (BSIS), with an emphasis in integrative studies, is a general undergraduate degree for those who have already obtained an associate's degree and who have completed a minimum amount of previous coursework that is transferable to Winston-Salem State University (WSSU). The school recommends this online course to older, professional students who may be too busy to attend class on campus. It will prepare students for a wide range of occupations, as with many liberal arts degrees.
The BSIS, focused on integrative studies, is comprised of 36 semester credit hours. However, as the degree is largely focused on liberal arts studies, there are WSSU courses that must be completed prior to beginning the upper-level integrative studies courses. Those who have obtained their associate's degree from WSSU may have already completed all the necessary courses, but others may have to take some before enrolling in the BSIS program. The prerequisites include three semester hours in African American culture, as WSSU is historically an African American college.

Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) is a public, master's level university located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Historically an African American college, WSSU was established in 1892 by Dr. Simon Green Atkins. In 1925, it became the first African American college to offer a degree in elementary school education. Today, WSSU enjoys a diverse enrollment of students and is at the forefront of 21st century education.
WSSU is one of most prestigious brick-and-mortar colleges that offers online degree programs. Using online Blackboard technology, students can enjoy a live, classroom experience with professors and fellow students. This is convenient to working students and those who otherwise could not attend WSSU on campus. Currently, a BS in interdisciplinary studies is offered, as well as BS in clinical laboratory science. Online graduate students can also earn an MS in rehabilitation counseling from WSSU's distance program.
Financial aid is available to students in need. In fact, 86% of all registered students take advantage of WSSU's generous financial aid department. Students can seek more information about financial aid through the college's official Web site. Grants, loans and scholarships are available to many qualifying students, either through the college itself or the federal government. Tuition for online courses may differ from campus courses, just as in-state distance learners will pay a different rate than out-of-state students.
WSSU is considered to be one of the premier universities of the southern United States. For over a century, the university has made history with its educational achievements. In addition to that, WSSU helps the local region by providing jobs and public education to surrounding, lower-income communities. Now, with a growing online program, WSSU is paving the way for a more versatile and convenient method of education.
