Course credits may be earned in the following ways:
1. Taking courses at other universities or colleges
2. Students may request and submit for IUPS approval (through their mentors),
permission to earn credits for workshops, and other programs not mentioned above.
3. Many students earn course credits by having their mentor assign books to read on the
course topic, and writing papers that demonstrate their understanding of the assigned
material. Credits can also be obtained by attending conferences, workshops, and retreats
as well as assigned projects. A key criteria for earning credits in this manner is for the
student to demonstrate how learning this subject matter impacts their life personally and
professionally. Integration of course material is of paramount importance at IUPS.
4. Students also have the opportunity to design their own electives, truly giving students
the opportunity to customize their education. A sample syllabus is provided to assist
students in meeting university standards. The student submits the proposed course
syllabus to the mentor and the university for approval.
