Overview

The Interdisciplinary Studies (Online) taught at the Royal Roads University advisors will work with you to build a schedule that aligns with your career or research interests. As part of your application, you’ll create a course plan together, which usually takes about a month.

You can design a programme and a schedule that fits your life, with online courses and an optional two- or three-week residency.

Since the degree is interdisciplinary, no more than half of your courses can come from any one programme.

Key Facts

Online courses consist of assigned readings, synchronous or asynchronous lectures, interactive discussions, and individual and team assignments.

You’re expected to meet deadlines and contribute meaningfully to your class. Your contributions are a big part of everyone’s learning.

Normally, you’ll take one course at a time. Each online course requires approximately 20 hours of work per week.

STANDARD ADMISSION

Four year (or comparable) undergraduate degree in a related field from a recognized post-secondary institution with a minimum GPA of ‘B+’ (3.33/4.33).

Normally, a minimum of three years of professional experience.

FLEXIBLE ADMISSION

While an undergraduate degree in a relevant field of study is recommended, applicants may be assessed for admission on the basis of their skills, knowledge and background developed outside traditional learning structures. This flexible admissions approach opens doors to higher learning for qualified candidates who otherwise might not meet traditional admission requirements, and thereby serves the needs of a diverse group of students.
