The Interdisciplinary Studies program at the Mount is for students who want to combine two related subjects into one major. You'll work with your advisor to create a custom plan, focusing on the coursework that will result in your degree goals. The program can be a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, depending on the courses you choose.
The Division of Continuing Studies strives to make it easy for adults to go back to school on a part-time basis, with classes in the evening one night per week both online and in-person at our convenient Frederick campus. It's important to us that you feel supported, can maintain your work-life balance, and have access to all of the resources you need to be a successful student.
Our faculty and advisors are here to work one-on-one with you to develop your degree plan, and to help keep you on track to finish your degree. We make the traditional college resources available to you to aid in your success, such as our Career Center, Writing Center, Library and Learning Services Office, just to name a few.

Thirty-seven years after he left college to pursue a professional football career, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach Todd Bowles has earned a bachelor’s degree. Last week, he completed the requirements for a bachelor of science in youth and community development - an interdisciplinary studies degree - from Mount St. Mary’s University, a small Catholic liberal arts university with a 214-year history located in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
Programs are designed to take one course at a time, providing you the flexibility you need to complete the 5- and 8-week classes at your own pace; with that the program pricing is set by credit hours instead of by the year.

Students enrolled on at least half-time basis (6-credits per semester) may qualify for financial aid. You may seek financial assistance through federal and state-funded programs, private loan providers, or deferment of undergraduate loans. The Mount also has a variety of employer tuition remission or reimbursement agreements with local businesses and community colleges, so you may just get a discount from your employer or previous college.
