About the course

The Individualized Studies (INDI) program is specifically for students whose work bridges media and disciplines that fall outside regular program structures. Open to students during their second year, INDI is self-directed. You?ll combine disciplines and develop unique pathways of inquiry as you navigate the many disciplines offered at the college, from architecture and design to fine arts and writing. Four required courses, an evolving artist statement, a rationale of study, and a self-managed graduation plan form the backbone of your INDI experience.

　　Individualized Studies majors graduate with experience identifying and following their own passions and talents and a deep understanding of more than one field. Our alumni bring this powerful self-knowledge and courage to forge their own paths to their artistic or design practices and to careers as educators, curators, fabricators, web developers, entrepreneurs, exhibition designers, and more.
