Are you
- passionate about exploring unanswered questions by applying multiple disciplinary pathways?
- absorbed by complex problems that seem to demand integrative answers from diverse perspectives?
- focused on a professional goal that demands a unique academic path?
If so, an Integrative Studies* major may be right for you.
Integrative Studies allows you to work with faculty across the College to design a major that will help you address critical questions and pursue professional goals in ways that generally 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.
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 make-your-own pathway through an Ithaca College education.
*Note: This program was formerly called Planned Studies.
