Interdisciplinary studies give students the flexibility to create a program or major that draws from multiple fields of study. Often, these programs are organized around a particular theme, question, or research topic that interests the student.

A bachelor's degree is given to students who fulfill the necessary requirements given by the college or university they are attending. The requirements include three to seven years of focus on a subject, typically referred to as a major or concentration.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
