To fulfill its mission of assisting colleges and universities to meet the educational needs of working adults, IPD has developed systems and instituted practices designed exclusively for the working adult learner and IPD partners. The courses that comprise each program are convenient for working adults.
Classes generally meet after work at locations which are easily accessible to the student.
Structured Curriculum Specific educational objectives, learning activities, and learning outcomes are found in each course and in every degree program. To graduate, students are required to demonstrate and achieve standard outcomes for each course in their degree program. The curriculum for each course contains all the materials and instructions necessary to satisfy the course requirements. Courses are developed in conjunction with the partner institution and must be approved through all established academic channels. Curriculum Review and Revision Degree programs and courses are reviewed and revised continually by partner faculty, staff, or consultants.
