Inclusive Postsecondary Education

Inclusive Postsecondary Education (IPSE) is a college option for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism. Students in IPSE programs engage in college life alongside their peers—attending classes, studying, joining clubs, working campus jobs, and participating in events. Some programs also offer residential options for students seeking a full campus experience.
