Interdisciplinary Curriculum - Global Perspective - Academic Community

Welcome new Baylor students and families! The Baylor Interdisciplinary Core (BIC) explores the interrelation of humanities and social sciences, providing students with a broad context to understand the contemporary world. Exploring literature and thought from around the world, BIC students receive a global education that prepares them to thrive in any field. The BIC is an interdisciplinary, general studies program that offers an alternative core curriculum and is housed within the Honors College. Five sequences of courses comprise the BIC curriculum: World Cultures, World of Rhetoric, Social World, Natural World, and The Examined Life.
