Chandlyr Brown-Reed Quote

I chose BSIS as my major because I wanted to chose a path that would allow me to one day become a well rounded physician. Majoring in BSIS with emphases in kinesiology, biology, and psychology allows me to stand out as it is a different pathway from the typical pre medicine majors.

Maitê Bueno Baldini Quote

BSIS gave me a multidisciplinary foundation that supports my transition into coaching. The program taught me to think across disciplines, communicate with diverse teams, and adapt quickly--skills that prove essential as I learn the fundamentals of coaching through my master’s program.

Haley Pritchard Quote

I wanted a degree that gave me the freedom to explore more than one area of interest. Blending two disciplines means I’ve learned to look at situations from multiple angles. Whether it’s problem-solving, planning, or working with people, I can pull from different skill sets to find creative solutions.

Gabriella Ybarra Quote

The ability to diversify my education through multiple emphasis areas has positioned me for genuine success in the real world. Without the flexibility of a BSIS degree and the constant support from the staff at MSU, I wouldn't have had the same opportunities if I had chosen another path.

Grace Parker Quote

I wanted to be as prepared for nursing school as possible, and BSIS provided the perfect opportunity to set me up for success! I chose BSIS emphasizing in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry because I wanted to find a major that incorporated all my favorite science classes!

Teanna Jefferson Quote

When I came to MSU, I wanted to do so much, and there was not a specific major for all the things that I love to do, like helping others and using my love for technology. Choosing multiple emphases in BSIS allowed me to learn more about different areas that I am passion about.
