Catalog

DIRECTED READING--Directed reading courses are offered by all academic programs and are open to qualified juniors and seniors to pursue reading outside a program's listed courses. Non-majors who demonstrate sufficient preparation in the discipline may also take 410 courses. Applications to take directed reading are available in the Office of Academic Advising and must be returned to the assistant dean of the college for approval. A 410 course carries one to four semester-hours credit. Ordinarily, a student will take no more than two semester courses of directed reading. The application should include the name of the instructor who will offer the 410, the course title,a description of the topic to be studied, a statement of the student's preparation for such study and the basis for the grade. The instructor must endorse the application, as well as the chair of the department or director of the program offering the 410. If a student wishes to take a 410 outside her major program, her application also must describe her preparation in the program offering the 410.
