    • 15 credits after admission to ICP
    • 50 upper division credits
    • 30 credits taken on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMTC) campus (students who complete only the minimum number of 30 credits may take no more than 8 of the 30 credits on the S/N grading basis)
    • At least half of upper-division major coursework completed on the UMTC campus
  2. Of the last 30 credits earned before graduation, at least 15 must be taken on the UMTC campus
  3. Completion of the requirements for liberal education, freshman writing, writing intensive, ICP 3101W Proposal Development, and ICP Career Readiness. Students pursuing a BA degree must also complete the second language requirement

  5. At least 75% of the UMTC campus credits must be taken on an A−F grading basis
  6. Completion of the courses on your ICP Program Approval Form on an A−F grading basis with a grade of C- or better (S/N grading in major course work not allowed unless it is the ONLY grading basis offered)

    • cumulative GPA for University of Minnesota coursework
    • cumulative GPA for upper-division coursework
    • cumulative GPA in each area of concentration (or the entire thematic) shown on your ICP Program Approval Form
