The Individually Tailored Educational Plan offers a student the opportunity to design a college program that is uniquely personalized. With the counsel of an advisor, the student selects a course curriculum which provides him opportunity to reach the educational goals of Greenville College in a way individually appropriate and satisfying. In planning the curriculum, consideration is given not only to future goals but to past preparation and achievement.

The basic requirement for graduation under ITEP is successful completion of thirty-three courses. Twelve courses must be upper division with a concentration of eight courses in one department, or the student may prefer to create a special area major of twelve courses in more than one department to meet a career objective. Credit by examination is an option for up to eight lower division courses.

Any student enrolled at Greenville College is eligible to apply for admission to ITEP. The student should select an academic advisor who will understand his needs, abilities, interests, educational background, and personal goals. Cooperatively they develop an educational program to be submitted to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for approval. Course selections should be in accord with the Greenville College objectives as stated in the catalog and should be goal-oriented. Non-traditional learning experiences may be included as part of the curriculum. The resulting plan applies the concept of "learning contracts" to the student's entire curriculum.

ITEP programs have been as varied as students are individual. A sampling of areas in which programs have been completed includes church history, human relations, and cross-cultural communications.
