Multiple Attribute and Inter-Domain courses

Inter-Domain Courses

In 2015, Faculty Senate added the Integrative Studies requirement to baccalaureate degrees, effective Summer 2018. This requirement is most commonly completed with Inter-Domain courses.

An Inter-Domain course integrates and meets the criteria of two Knowledge Domains (Arts - GA, Humanities - GH,  Health and Wellness - GHW, Natural Sciences - GN, Social and Behavioral Science - GS).

Additional Inter-Domain course details can be found on the Penn State Undergraduate Bulletin.
