The curriculum is composed of 23 quarter-courses as well as a regular seminar series and the opportunity to pursue research. ISP may lead to a three-year bachelor of arts degree if by the end of the third year the student has completed 36 or more quarter-courses and satisfied all other college requirements.
Although listed in a three-year format, most students spread the program over four years, usually to combine an ISP major with a second major in a more traditional (i.e., Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics) department. Double majors in other areas such as economics are possible as well.
