How Does IGSM Maintain Academic Integrity?
Because the academic program at IGSM is designed for university/graduate level students there is a purposeful attempt to provide an intellectual forum that offers a significant diversity of resources. Students should expect reading assignments and instructors that are intellectually challenging. It is essential that IGSM expose students to a wide spectrum of ideas. Students are not expected to agree with all the ideas presented either in class or in the reading assignments. We expect students to evaluate the materials and presentations and make their own judgments as to the validity of the information presented. A fundamental belief at IGSM is that there is no one model that fits all situations. In addition, we recognize the many different traditions that are represented in our student body and faculty. Therefore IGSM must provide an intellectually challenging environment where diversity is viewed as a fundamental value.
