THIS IS JAZMINE ROGERS WITH THE PERCH. A NEW “DESIGN YOUR
OWN” DEGREE PATH AT UTC IS SPARKING A LOT OF INTEREST AMONG
STUDENTS.
THE BACHELORS OF INTEGRATED STUDIES DEGREE ALLOWS
STUDENTS TO COMBINE TWO TO THREE AREAS OF STUDY TO FORM A
DEGREE BASED ON THEIR CAREER CHOICE.
DR. GRETCHEN POTTS, DIRECTOR OF INTEGRATED STUDIES, FEELS
THAT LOW ADVERTISEMENT ON CAMPUS COULD BE THE CAUSE OF WHY
STUDENTS ARE JUST NOW BEING INFORMED ABOUT THE MAJOR THAT HAS
BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE FALL 2012.
IN: I mean we have done (:15)
OUT: considered integrated studies
MANY STUDENTS LIKE UTC JUNIOR, ASHLEY GRAHAM, FEEL THAT
THIS COULD BE THE DEGREE PATH THEY HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR.

2. IN: I think the bachelors (:12)
OUT: focusing on one field
THE ADVISEMENT OFFICE PROVIDES THE NECESSARY STEPS
STUDENTS NEED TO TAKE IF SEEKING THIS DEGREE. STUDENTS WILL
HAVE TO COMPLETE A QUESTIONAIRE AND WATCH A VIDEO TO HELP
ADVISORS DECIDE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PATH FOR THEM.
ACCORDING TO POTTS, STUDENTS NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT
THEY WANT, BE MATURE, AND HAVE A PASSION FOR WHAT THEY DESIRE.
