Courses

Courses geared towards your interests

As a student in the Individualized Major Program (IMP) you will take courses from a variety of departments, including the IMP itself. Because it is an individualized program, there are no required courses (though seniors are required to enroll in independent-study credit for their final projects). If you are in your first or second semester and intend to apply to the IMP, you should take introductory courses in disciplines related to your area of interest. Taking these introductory courses helps you gauge the extent of your interest in topics, introduces you to potential faculty sponsors, and gets you started on pre-requisites you might need for upper-level courses in your major.

What is independent study?

Independent-study courses (sometimes called "tutorials") are one-on-one classes created by special arrangement between a student and a faculty member. Independent-study courses can range from a private course on campus to off-campus experiences including fieldwork and internships. Most of the courses offered by the IMP are independent study.
