This program is open to a select group of students who possess exceptional scientific and mathematical aptitude, who are strongly motivated to succeed academically, and who are especially eager to study science and mathematics within the context of a liberal arts education. The goal of the program is to provide participants both a broader understanding of the nature of scientific activity and the opportunity to foster their interest in science by engaging in research early in their academic career.

While the ISP is intended primarily for students who plan to major in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics, it is designed to be compatible with every major at the College. Completion of the ISP satisfies the integration of knowledge requirement.

The program can accommodate only a limited number of students: approximately 15 in each entering class. Applicants for admission to Trinity who are interested in the program can send e-mail to the Admissions Office or the Interdisciplinary Science Center Director, Alison J. Draper, Ph.D., for further details.
