About the course

The Individual Studies Program (IVSP) is a degree-granting academic program under the direction of the Office of Undergraduate Studies that enables students to create new interdisciplinary curricula leading to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. IVSP students enjoy broad academic freedom to pursue their degrees in ways that best suit their own intellectual interests and passions. IVSP students also enjoy individualized guidance from their Faculty Mentor and the dedicated IVSP staff as well as great support from their student colleagues in IVSP. The purpose of the Individual Studies program is to give students a chance to create a unique academic program focused on a specific area of study, using courses from multiple academic departments. The program is founded on the belief that education is sometimes best approached from outside the boundaries of a single academic major or program.
