Choose the BIS program because:
- You have relevant professional and/or prior academic experience that you would like to use towards your degree. The BIS is designed to support students with prior academic and/or professional training and experience who want to attain a credential for professional and educational advancement.
- The BIS degree provides the greatest flexibility of any program. The degree is non-disciplinary and allows students to combine courses and short programs (e.g., certificates, minors, themes, etc.). Students can choose courses offered from across UFV to meet degree requirements. Students work with an academic advisor to select courses that best meet their learning goals, schedules, and other needs.
- The BIS degree is rigorous. BIS students demonstrate competency in six core areas and complete foundational study in written communications and statistics. BIS students carry out advanced academic coursework in multiple disciplines as well as portfolio and career learning.
- The BIS is a transfer-friendly program. Students can transfer up to 90 credits into their degree. UFV also maintains transfer partnerships with multiple public and private educational and training providers.
- You can complete your degree more quickly than other options. Many students find that they can complete their degree more quickly in the BIS, because of the degree’s flexibility, use of transfer credit, and non-disciplinary structure.
- Our graduates succeed! Just over half of BIS alumni pursue graduate study, Teacher Education and other professional programs, and many other graduates obtain professional certification in specialized areas of practice.
