Is the IMP right for you?

The Individualized Major Program gives students the freedom to create multidisciplinary majors or minors that explore topics of their own choosing. If you are a highly motivated, independent student and you can’t find a major or minor that suits your particular needs, then the IMP may be right for you.

Individualized Majors

Working closely with a faculty sponsor, each IMP major student designs a personalized curriculum of 30-42 credit hours culminating in a final project such as a thesis, performance, or internship. IMP majors also must complete the general requirements for a bachelor of arts degree from the College of Arts and Sciences.
