George Mason University

Mason's Bachelor of Individualized Study (BIS) program is a degree completion program for adult learners.  Students create interdisciplinary concentrations to meet their own educational needs: to advance professionally, to prepare for graduate or professional programs, or to plan a path toward a career change.

BIS offers students a distinctive educational opportunity that allows students to integrate other college-level learning such as professional or military experiences into university course work. The advisers and faculty are committed to helping students build on their life experience to create a rewarding degree program.
