The Bachelor of Individualized Study Program is George Mason University's degree completion program for adult learners.

Adult students enter this individualized study program for many different reasons. Some are pursuing the BIS degree as preparation for graduate and professional programs. Others see the BIS degree as a gateway for professional advancement or career change. Still others want to complete an undergraduate degree through BIS primarily for personal satisfaction. Some distinctive features of the BIS degree include the following:

• The concentration is an interdisciplinary grouping of courses which does not duplicate a traditional major offered by George Mason University.
• The BIS program accepts nontraditional transfer credit from other institutions.
• Because college-level learning may be acquired through varied professional, service, and personal experiences, the BIS degree provides mechanisms to translate experiential learning into academic credit. (See the Northern Virginia Community College PLACE Program and Thomas Edison State College.)
