IDP requirements for graduate students
The myPath programming and tools developed by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies provides students with the resources they need to develop their own Individual Development Plan (IDP). The purpose of an IDP is to enable students to establish meaningful goals and create a strategy for how they will accomplish these goals. IDPs have been implemented at many graduate institutions in North America, the majority of which have made it mandatory to submit an annual IDP.
