Individualized Course Requirements †††

Individualized course requirements make up the bulk of the student’s curriculum. These courses are selected from across multiple disciplines, and they must demonstrate interdisciplinary breadth (e.g. cannot replicate preexisting major curricula) and intellectual depth (e.g. significant advanced coursework). Typically, at least three different disciplines will be represented by individualized course requirements. Built out in the student's proposed plan of study, these courses are approved by CSDN advisers, departmental representatives, and/or expert faculty during the application process. Students work with their CSDN advisers quarterly to determine updated course selections and sequencing.
