Undergraduate Studies
The Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Arts Degrees prepare students for immediate employment upon graduation. They also qualify students to continue their studies in master’s or doctoral programs. To achieve the goal of transdisciplinarity, students must participate in special courses in which two professors, one from each school, treat a topic using cross-disciplinary team teaching. Additionally, students must supplement their major studies with courses from the other school.
