Are you a student who is
If so, an Integrative Studies* major may be right for you.
Integrative Studies allows you to work with faculty across the College to design an academic experience that will help you address critical questions and pursue professional goals in ways that cannot be accomplished through an existing major.
Each Integrative Studies program is unique, since students develop a plan of study based on their own distinct set of questions and goals.
The faculty have also developed a series of options (Integrative Studies "platforms") to show what areas of inquiry might be used to create a plan, and to provide a base from which you can launch your own vision of those options.
It takes a special set of skills to pursue an Integrative Studies major. The program works especially well for students who are engaged in, and ready to take responsibility for, their own education, and who are self-motivated, intellectually curious, and ready to challenge themselves.
If that describes you, we invite you to consider pursuing this integrative pathway through an Ithaca College education.
A special note: This program was formerly called Planned Studies.
