This document summarizes the Bridging Disciplines Programs (BDP) at the University of Texas at Austin. The BDP allows students to individualize their education through 19 hours of coursework and internship or research experiences for a transcript-recognized certificate in one of 11 concentrations. Requirements include foundation courses, courses in a concentration strand for some BDPs, and 6-9 hours of connecting experiences like internships or independent research projects. Students apply by submitting an application, essay, and meeting with an advisor to design a course plan. Feedback from alumni highlighted appreciating ownership over their education and gaining hands-on experiences through connecting experiences.
