The Individualized Study (IS) program caters to driven students seeking to craft a personalized academic path. IS participants collaborate with faculty advisors from the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (IAS) or other UW Bothell departments to develop a curriculum aligned with their academic and career goals. Based in IAS, this flexible program enables students to design degrees spanning diverse fields like science communication, environmental education, gender studies, and digital arts. Students engage in regular consultations with their mentors while documenting their educational journey through reflective portfolios.
