 ====== Individualized Degree Program (IDP) ======
- IDP is a self paced program that allows adults over the age of 23 to get their bachelor degrees at Trinity. All majors are available to IDP students to pursue, and they may either enroll full or part time. IDP students are able to utilize financial aid, and must submit an application and get accepted into the program, mirroring the traditional students admission process.
+The Individualized Degree Program (IDP) is a self-paced program that allows adults over the age of 24 or those who are self-supporting to pursue a bachelor's degree at Trinity. All majors are available to IDP students to study, and they may either enroll full- or part-time. IDP students are allowed to apply for financial aid, and must submit an application and be accepted into the program, mirroring the traditional student admission process. Some IDP students are veterans or international students, with many from the [[hartford|Hartford]] area.
+The Individualized Degree Program grew out of a proposed Alternate Degree Program in 1973. The Alternate Degree Program focused on obtaining a bachelor's degree through academic proficiency rather than on course and credit completion. The IDP is a way for non-traditional undergraduates to get their bachelor's degrees at their own pace while receiving support and a sense of community.
