Program Emphasis: General Information: The Interdisciplinary Studies: Individualized Program (IS:IP) is a flexible but academically rigorous master's degree program. Working within established guidelines, students plan a course of study specifically designed to explore their interests and work with a faculty committee to pursue and complete their program. Success relies upon the individual's initiative and self-discipline and the commitment of the student's master's committee. Admission to the IS:IP program is selective; the program is intended to meet the needs of students who have specific, well-articulated goals that cannot be reached through established departmental master's degree programs. Students may select course work from three departments in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), from three professional schools, or from a combination of professional schools and CAS departments. Although considerable flexibility is allowed in the design of a program, in all cases, the curriculum must be composed of existing courses from three different departments that grant the master's degree. A studentss IS:IP program may not substantially duplicate an already established departmental masterss degree program, nor should the IS:IP be considered an alternate method of pursuing a program to which a student has already been denied admission.
