The IDP also serves as an incubator for new academic programs at the university, allowing the university to respond quickly to changing needs in the community and workplace.
The Center for Individualized Learning (CIL) houses the Individualized Degree Program (IDP) and the Metro Meritus program. These programs are geared toward expanding on the traditional university academic experience. Whether you are interested in designing your own degree or Metro Meritus, the CIL is ready to help you achieve your goals.
The Center also contributes to pre-eminence at MSU Denver by offering students and faculty the opportunity to engage in individualized, interdisciplinary, and innovative educational initiatives. Our mission is to provide support for programs that expand upon the traditional university experience.
