Created in 2005 for students in the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Natural Sciences, the Texas IP is a six-course interdisciplinary plan rooted in a critical thinking and writing foundation and crowned by a capstone project in the senior year.

Four features make the Texas IP unique:

Students can articulate their own focus of study.

A two-course critical thinking and writing requirement forms the intellectual foundation for each student.

Students will produce a substantial scholarly work as undergraduates.

A generous endowment allows the IP to offer a variety of financial scholarships to students.
