used to constitute a general studies option. The IMP may also appeal to non-traditional and returning students as well as to students who have completed an associate degree and wish to return to complete a BA degree with a different focus than that of their associate degree. As examples of IMP programs, recent IMP students have graduated in Chinese language and culture, ancient Egyptian language and culture (Egyptology), music business, and medical illustration. Requirements The IMP consists of at least 36 hours of course work, which must form a coherent whole. This may include work taken at other colleges including work taken through the Consortium for Urban Education (CUE) interchange in Indianapolis. All normal core and LAS college requirements must be met. In LAS, the same course cannot be counted toward two different majors. The proposed program should include an experience beyond the normal classroom-based course such as an internship, a semester of study abroad, an honors or departmental thesis, a senior seminar in a relevant department, or a service-learning project in the junior or senior year. Because each IMP is unique, there is no fixed list or sequence of courses for the major. Admission to the IMP A student should submit to the IMP committee through its chairperson a proposal for an IMP anytime between the beginning of the sophomore year and the end of the fall semester of the junior year. In general, this application will include a general statement which describes the nature of the proposed IMP, how this IMP relates to the student’s goals and why these goals can better be pursued as an IMP rather than within a traditional major or double major. The proposal also should demonstrate the coherence and integrity of the proposed IMP, show that course resources are available to support the IMP (including courses to be taken outside of Butler) and provide evidence that the student has the motivation and initiative to carry out the IMP. The student should also recruit an advisor for the IMP and provide a detailed list of courses, which will constitute the major (subject to revision each year due to changes in available courses relevant to the IMP). The IMP committee will evaluate the proposal and decide whether to approve 163 Butler University it. More information and the application form to be used in submitting a proposal can be found by going to the Academics page of the Butler Web site and selecting the Individualized Majors Program (IMP) from the drop-down list of programs and majors.
