Arizona State University BIS program:  What is it?
The BIS program at Arizona State University allows students to integrate multiple disciplines into one major.  Students can choose from two or more areas of concentration for their BIS degree.  A minimum of 18 hours in each concentration is required, not including pre-requisites.  This program allows students to focus on more than one area of study. 


The choice to become a BIS major.
I chose the BIS program for several reasons.  The first being my interest in both the nutrition and exercise fields.  Professionally, as a personal trainer, nutrition questions from clients are unavoidable.  I wanted to be able to provide my clients with educated answers to their health and nutrition questions.  Several of the course descriptions in Exercise and Wellness are similar to those of Human Nutrition.  Psychology and sociology classes offered to exercise and nutrition students are very similar.  Wanting to use my time more efficiently, the BIS program allowed me to cut out the redundancy of almost identical classes.  This program allowed me to study mulitple disciplines, and still graduate in a timely manner.
