This course is designed to help students contemplate the skills and knowledge they have acquired through general education courses and through the process of designing and completing an individualized degree program in the context of a world that is changing dramatically.

The BDIC major allows students to design their own interdisciplinary concentrations. This course provides an introduction to BDIC. Through a series of exercises, students explore what resources are available to them at UMass and the other four area colleges and learn how to develop their educational goals into coherent academic programs.
