Design of the ISAT Curriculum

Technical Area 1 (STEM-related) Choose 15-21 credits from a STEM-related area/discipline as approved by the ISAT advisor.

Technical Area 2 Choose 9-15 credits from a technical area of STEM, business, or related area/discipline approved by the ISAT advisor. This area must come from an area/discipline distinct from Technical Area 1.

HASS (Humanities, Arts, and Social Science) Area 1 (Foundation: Theory and Knowledge) - Choose 9-12 credits from an area/discipline related to understanding the human condition, understanding, mindset, welfare, values, and/or dignity, as approved by the ISAT advisor.

HASS Area 2 (Application) - Choose 12-15 credits from an area/discipline that applies humanistic theory and knowledge to professional settings, communities, and society, as approved by the ISAT advisor.

Technical Areas 1 and 2 must total a minimum of 30 credits. Technical Area 1 must relate to an U.S. Government STEM-designated area. STEM refers to majors in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

HASS Areas 1 and 2 must total a minimum of 24 credits. HASS refers to Humanities, Arts, and Social Science, broadly defined, and courses are chosen in consultation with the ISAT Advisor.

At least half the credits in each area must be at the 300/400 level.
