The School of Integrative Studies is proud to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Bachelor of Individualized Study (BIS) program at George Mason University.
Since 1975, BIS has empowered students to design flexible, interdisciplinary degree pathways tailored to their personal and professional goals. For five decades, the program has provided Mason students with opportunities to combine their passions, strengthen their skills, and prepare for meaningful careers.
This milestone is not only a celebration of the program’s legacy, but also of the dedicated faculty, staff, and campus partners who have supported BIS students every step of the way. Together, we have built a tradition of innovation and excellence that continues to thrive.
We are excited to honor this history throughout the year, and we look forward to the next 50 years of empowering Mason students to achieve their dreams.
