Transforming Higher Education through Multidisciplinary, Team-Based, Experiential Learning 

The VIP Consortium is a non-profit alliance established to support & promote the success of Vertically Integrated Projects (VIPs) in colleges and universities worldwide. VIP is an award-winning educational construct developed at Georgia Tech & Purdue University and refined for over 25 years. In a Vertically Integrated Project, teams of undergraduate students collaborate with faculty and their graduate students on ambitious, long-term projects of mutual interest.

VIP programs are now active in over 40 universities with 4,500+ students participating per term around the globe. The VIP Consortium’s mission is to help educational institutions start and sustain successful VIP programs that accelerate the pace of innovation, boost graduation rates, reduce inequities in undergraduate experiential learning, and better prepare students to be members and leaders of tomorrow’s collaborative, cross functional workforce – one VIP project at a time.
