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/Psychology classes. Use this as a guide, then add your STEM/Business/Psychology classes to see what your graduation timeline may look like.

Additional IGP specific tracks

Advanced Spanish track

Are you starting your first year with prior Spanish knowledge? If you are starting at a SPA 300 level or above you may earn a Spanish BA with a Professional IGP emphasis degree,  instead of earning the IGP Modern Languages BA. Compare the difference between the two degrees in our  comparison guide: IGP Advanced Spanish Options Overview and see the progression plan here: IGP Spanish BA Progression Plan

Honors track

25% of IGP students are in the Honors College, because it’s achievable to maintain Honors while completing IGP. Learn how you can graduate with Honors in our IGP and Honors Quick Guide – 10 units of IGP coursework are offered as honors courses.
