Bridging Disciplines Programs – Spring info sessions & application deadline

The Spring 2022 Bridging Disciplines Programs (BDP) application deadline will be on Thursday, March 10th at 8:00 am. Students can learn more about BDP certificates by viewing a pre-recorded or live online BDP information session. The first live Zoom info session is coming up this Friday, February 18. If students are ready to apply, they can find the BDP application on the BDP website. For students who are not quite ready to apply this spring, please know that we’ll have another application deadline in Fall 2022, in early October.

If you are not familiar with the BDPs, our programs offer undergraduates at UT the opportunity to pursue an interdisciplinary certificate to complement their major. BDP certificates integrate coursework with internship and research experiences and can be individualized to suit students’ goals. Students choose from one of 16 different interdisciplinary themes. You can view a list of all BDP topics, as well as more information about our programs, on our website.
