Integration | Degree Structure and Design by Ed Planning

Integration means that there is some connection among some of the courses in the degree, not only in the concentration, but also between general learning and concentration courses. An integrated degree means that you have some courses that support and enhance one another.

For example, degrees with concentrations in human services usually integrate courses in psychology and sociology to better grasp societal influences on people. Degrees with concentrations in literature usually integrate studies in history to provide a way to understandi literature of a certain time period. Degrees with concentrations in business usually integrate courses in sociology and communications to provide better understanding of how to communicate with individuals and groups.
