Illuminated lightbulb expressing the concept of Big Ideas

Teaching and learning about Big Ideas with Transformative Texts encourages creative thinking, imaginative capacities, and problem solving. In this certificate program, students work closely with faculty to gain a deeper understanding of the modern world and communicate more effectively across all disciplines.

The Big Ideas program uses a series of relevant themes to guide students along the path to more confident, graceful, and effective communication and critical thinking. Designed specifically for preprofessional and STEM students, but open to the IUP community at large, the Big Ideas certificate boosts every student's overall marketability and comes at a smart value.
