The Individualized Major Program (IMP) sets you apart from your peers, and prepares you to be a self-motivated and creative thinker. We encourage you to pursue your deepest interests, identifying the ways those can enable you to create the life you want to sustain after graduation.
Think of career preparation as another way to conduct research; in this case, the work is personal, as it has to do with your own preferences and ambitions.
Graduates from the IMP have pursued careers and post-graduate education in a wide variety of fields. Recent examples include:
Initial and long-term destinations for graduates include positions in education, the entertainment industry, publishing, the arts, and philanthropy. Talk with faculty, your academic advisor, and your career coach to gain insights into the career paths taken by graduates in the IMP.
