State University System External Degree Program

Bachelor of Independent Studies (BIS)

The Bachelor of Independent Studies Program is available through participating state universities in Florida. The universities currently involved are the Florida International University, Florida State University, the University of Florida, the University of North Florida, and the University of South Florida.

Founded in 1968, the external degree program is for adults who find it difficult to attend regular university classes because of career or family commitments. The BIS student proceeds at his/her own pace and, for the most part, in his/her own setting. The exception is the summer seminars which require periodic, short-term campus residence.

The administration office for the Program is located on USF's Tampa Campus. For detailed information, see the College of Arts and Sciences BIS Program.
