Independent Study

Independent study is available to matriculated students. An independent study may take the form of research, tutorials, directed readings, or special projects under the direction of full-time faculty members with whom students consult periodically during the semester. Each independent study must have a faculty advisor and requires a formal application to be on file in the Registrar’s office at the time of registration or by the deadline posted on the academic calendar (approximately two weeks from the first day of classes).

Students who wish to pursue independent study have the responsibility to secure approvals and consent from a faculty member in the academic discipline, realizing that a faculty member may not always be able to accommodate requests.
