Why Multidisciplinary Studies at TWU?

Flexible and efficient pathways: Our programs allow you to focus on your career goals without the extra burden of foreign language or additional math and science courses, helping you graduate sooner with a degree tailored to your interests.

Maximize your transfer credits: Our programs are designed for students transferring from a community college and those transferring prior workforce education to count toward a meaningful degree.

Career-ready skills for a changing job market: Both programs equip you with essential skills in communication, collaboration, networking, and adaptability – key competencies employers seek across multiple industries.

Customizable

  • Customizable and career-focused: You design your degree by concentration areas (BSMDS) or professional development courses and a minor or certificate (BAASPS) that match your interests and career goals.
  • Designed with your goals in mind: This degree program lets you concentrate on the courses that align with your career aspirations—no extra foreign language or advanced math/science requirements.
  • Transfer-friendly: We maximize your transfer credits, including workforce education (WECM) for our BAASPS degree, so you can graduate faster and more efficiently.
  • Flexible learning options: Many courses and concentrations are available 100% online, making balancing school with work or family life easier.
  • Real-world skills: You’ll build critical thinking, communication and leadership skills that employers are actively looking for.
  • Supportive environment: From advising to career services to mentoring, we’re here to help you succeed every step of the way.

If you’re looking for a flexible, empowering degree that adapts to your goals, Texas Woman's University is a fantastic place to make it happen!

Career-focused

Our BS in Multidisciplinary Studies (BSMDS) and BAAS in Professional Studies (BAASPS) programs are designed to help you build a degree that aligns with your career goals, and there are several ways they support your job search:

  • Customizable coursework: You choose concentration areas (BSMDS) or professional development coursework (BAASPS) that match your career interests, making your degree relevant to your desired job.
  • Career-focused advising: You’ll work with the program director and academic advisors who help you plan a path that supports your professional goals.
  • Internship opportunities: You can complete an internship for hands-on experience.
  • Career connections: Offers resume help, mock interviews, job fairs, and connections to employers looking for TWU grads.

So, while the program is flexible, it’s backed by strong support to help you transition confidently into the workforce.

This degree can prepare you for graduate school if you specialize later.

Transferring credits

All courses taken for academic credit from regionally accredited colleges will transfer to TWU. Some will apply toward degree requirements, and some may count as electives. Remedial or developmental courses taken in preparation for college-level academic credit are not accepted. Technical or Work Force Education (WECM) courses are not accepted unless the student is pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Arts & Sciences (BAAS) or Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) and/or the courses have been approved for use by the receiving academic unit. Find out more information about Academic course transfer here.

Changing majors

For current TWU students who wish to change their major, complete the Undergraduate Change of Major Request form and make an appointment with a BSMDS/BAASPS academic advisor. To apply the change to the current semester, submit it before the census date. If you're switching from a BAAS degree to another program, you must reapply through the Admissions office.

Undergraduate Admission

When you apply to TWU, we will evaluate your academic achievement and preparation, as well as your standardized test scores. Admission to TWU is valid for four terms, unless you have attended another higher education institution.
