Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Studies - Criminology and Criminal Justice (Fast Track)

University of Nebraska at Omaha

The Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Studies (BMS) degree offers a distinct multidisciplinary learning opportunity that allows students to pursue areas of study that may be unrelated, cultivates an approach to problem-solving that appreciates and utilizes diverse perspectives and knowledge, and fosters an appreciation and thirst for lifelong learning. Recognizing the diverse needs, interests and experiences of our multigenerational learners, the BMS program allows for flexibility in acceptance of transfer credit and other college-level learning outside the traditional classroom. The curriculum complements and connects prior learning and the discipline-specific learning students select as part of their degree program.The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice has developed a Fast Track program for highly qualified and motivated students providing the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in an accelerated time frame. With Fast Track, students may count up to 9 graduate hours toward the completion of their undergraduate program as well as the graduate degree program.Student Learning OutcomesThe BMS curriculum is intentionally designed to observe, develop, and enrich program outcomes in our students. Throughout the program, students shape, articulate, and document their progress towards achievement of each Goal and Learning Outcome, independent of where, when, or how the learning was acquired.
