General Information

For over 25 years, the Integrated Studies Program has provided an extraordinary way for first year students to fulfill their University Essential Studies (general education) requirements.

Rather than taking separate courses in a large lecture setting, the Integrated Studies Program provides students an opportunity to:

* Engage in small, student-centered discussion style classes

* Gain required credits in Essential Studies courses

* Integrate topics from classes together as well as with their daily lives

* Be exposed to new methods of critical thinking and problem solving

* Develop a constructive relationship with professors and other students

* Read and discuss interesting books

Below is an illustration of the Essential Studies requirements for undergraduates, and credits fulfilled during a typical fall semester in ISP Classic.

Category	Required Credits	Credits Offered in ISP
Communication	9	3
Social Sciences	9	3
Arts and Humanities	9	4
Math/Science/Technology	9	3
