Most them had carried out independent research with their journal articles being published. I think this program is one of the best out there for people with diverse interest in sciences and you will be exposed to diffrent areas of sciences without staying extra years. In fact, ISP is supposed to be just a 3-yr program! But many ISP students do double major:</p>

Although listed in a three-year format, many students spread the program over four years, often 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.

<p>But the program is pretty rigorous and quantitative. I think you need to be pretty good not only in sciences but also math.</p>
