The number of SH permitted from any department, school, or college of UNCP will be restricted by discipline specific accreditation standards.
4. Transfer or take a balance of elective or support courses to meet the total credit requirements of  any particular Interdisciplinary Studies Major.
5. And all other requirements for baccalaureate graduation at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
6. Two thirds of all Major and Track courses taken toward the BIS degree must be from UNCP.

Majors within the BIS degree program contain cores of 21 to 33 credit hours to which are attached 15 to 29 hours of approved electives, most often bundled as tracks. Students also may elect to attach one or more minors to these majors to fulfill University electives.
