Academic Plan
Effective in fall 2024, all students will earn a B.A. degree in Leadership Studies. While the degree name changed from Interdisciplinary Studies, the program and coursework remain the same. The degree requires a total of 120 units. The number of units you are required to complete for this program will depend on the number of units and the courses you transfer in. Typically students will transfer in 60 units and will need to complete an additional 60 units for the degree. This will include a total of 39 upper division units.
The 39 upper division units include:
- 30 units in the major
- 9 units of general education
There are other institutional requirements and opportunities for electives as well. These additional requirements can be taken at Cal Poly Humboldt or transferred in; however, only 70 community college units can be applied toward the 120 total units for the degree.
Leadership Studies students should review their Degree Audit Report (DARS), and consult with the Leadership Studies adviser each term.
