The Individualized Major Program is excited to announce that
starting in fall 2014 it will accept applications for individualized
minors. We’ll entertain proposals for minors that arise from students’
interest in Themester or colloquia offered through IU’s centers and institutes,
or that concern any subject not represented among IU’s standard minor
offerings.
The minor is like others offered through the College in that
it consists of 15 hours with a minimum of nine at the 300-400 level. It’s
different from some minors in that it includes courses from various departments
(in fact, no more than two courses from a single department can count).
Also, we’ve included special regulations to ensure the minors’ integrity: For
example, no more than two courses for the minor can be completed or in progress
at the time the student applies.
Students pursuing IMP minors are not required to have
faculty sponsors or to interview for admission to the IMP. The minor
application includes a brief essay in which the student distinguishes the
proposed minor from others available at IU and articulates the principle of its
coherence. Applications will be reviewed by a committee of three faculty
members; subsequent changes require the approval of the IMP director.
