IGP progression plans

Course progressions

IGP is intentionally designed to integrate our students’ curriculum and optimize study plans. In the end, IGP students add on average 1.2 classes per semester.

It can be helpful to look at a map of the IGP progression plan template to understand how to best match your culture and language degree to your STEM/Business classes. Use this as a guide, then add your STEM/Business classes to see what your graduation timeline may look like.
