Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate (IUG) Degree Programs
Developing an IUG Program
To create an IUG in CIM, you will need to enter two proposals – an undergraduate and a graduate. They can be developed at the same time, however undergraduate proposals will not be reviewed by the University Senate Subcommittee until after the graduate proposal is approved. It is recommended that the prospectus be submitted after submitting the graduate proposal for review.
