Is there any difference between the degrees conferred by the Bachelor's Degree Program and general departments?

A “Bachelor's Degree Program” refers to the integration of the resources of two or more departments on campus to provide cross-disciplinary learning resources (including courses and faculty), and the degrees conferred are no different from those of general university departments, all of which are “Bachelor's Degrees”.

What does Rift Valley Interdisciplinary College teach?

Located in the East Rift Valley, this is the only college in the East that was established as a “comprehensive university”, with eight colleges: Migratory, Arts, Management, Humanities and Social Sciences, Science and Technology, Flower Teacher Education, Aboriginal, and Environmental and Marine.

This degree program belongs to Migrant Mission Hills College, which is a four-year non-departmental interdisciplinary bachelor's degree program based on the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) educational model, which develops students' ability to practice and apply the theme, and is characterized by the following features:

1. “Humanism” is the starting point of cross-disciplinary education, and “Humanistic Literacy” is used to cultivate students' basic vision of cross-disciplinary learning, and to further conceive their own path of professional development. The main courses include “Philosophical Foundations of Interdisciplinary Practice” and “Interdisciplinary Practice and Local Care”.
2. “Assembled” Learning Mode This degree program offers special courses, but only as a supplement to students' cross-disciplinary studies. As a “four-year non-departmental” Rift Valley Interdisciplinary College, it mainly cultivates students' independent learning planning and develops the value of lifelong learning. Through the guidance of course teachers, students can independently develop their own talents and career plans, and acquire more than one professional knowledge and skills by integrating with the eight faculties of the University. Compared to traditional departments that use “packages” of knowledge to develop a profession, this degree program uses an innovative education model and flexible study system to allow students to freely design and “assemble” their own professional knowledge and skills. Featured courses include “Business Management and Human Rights Development”, “Marine Exploration and Environmental Conservation”, “Calligraphy and Spiritual Exploration”, and “Science Narrative and Media Literacy”.
3. The “Cross-disciplinary Exploration and Practice” program of the Rift Valley Interdisciplinary College is designed to provide seven different instructional courses, in which instructors guide students to explore different cross-disciplinary themes, and to cultivate the ability to identify and solve problems, as well as to develop project planning strategies and abilities. Related courses include “Experimental Education Special Topics,” “Independent Learning Special Topics,” “Life Practice Special Topics,” “Social Care Special Topics,” “Free Creativity Special Topics,” “Independent Learning and Teacher-Student Co-Learning,” and “Teacher-Student Special Topic Development Classes.
4. Professional Development by Project Through the knowledge/techniques of courses in different fields, students can accumulate the ability to operate, so that students can integrate the various knowledge they have learned, and solve abstract problems and concepts by means of project implementation and concrete presentation. The four-year degree program implements the learning objectives of the “Specialization in Thematic Development” and trains students to become professionals with both theoretical and practical skills. Related courses include “Research Project”, “Vocational Internship” and “Graduation Project”.
