Design your future
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.
IMP benefits
Although the specific skills you develop will depend on the subject of your individualized major, the general benefits are far-reaching. They include:
- Critical reflection, particularly self-reflection
- Application of general principles to specific situations
- Analytical skills, breaking a subject into elements and determining relationships
- Intellectual independence and the ability to collaborate with faculty and students
- Ability to communicate findings orally and in writing, answering questions and articulating successes and difficulties in achieving objectives
