Integrated Degrees

Benefits of the IDP

When students declare an IDP interest, they align themselves with certain benefits that have significant academic and financial value:

• Ability to take graduate classes during their senior year of undergraduate studies;
• Opportunity to complete bachelor's and master's degree programs sooner, in some cases earning both in as little as five years; and
• Significant cost savings as compared to traditional master's completion.
