Earn a degree that aligns with your unique interests, and specific educational and career goals. The Individualized Degree Program (IDP) provides personalized support for you to identify, explore, and cultivate your individual intellectual and professional interests; develop essential career skills, abilities, and experience; integrate your academic work within and outside the classroom; and practice the reflection skills necessary to be a proficient lifelong learner.
Through the IDP, you can fuse more than one major field and forge a distinctive path that will help prepare you to navigate your career and civic life with an interdisciplinary perspective and diverse set of skills. Unlike traditional degree programs which require students to select one major or take on a double major, the IDP allows you to create your own major by identifying multiple areas of interest and combining them to create a unique degree program. In conjunction with your multidisciplinary coursework, the program's interdisciplinary core curriculum facilitates degree integration by helping you to synthesize your learning, develop interdisciplinarity, and explore career possibilities. Through the core courses you will also build valuable professional skills in digital communication, research and analysis, strategic planning, critical thinking, problem solving, and project management.
