Independent Study

Catalog description

This class affords a student the opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty member to explore a topic of special academic interest or engage in a creative, practice-based learning project. A student is expected to deepen their understanding of the identified topic and present a tangible product representing their learning. The course may consist of directed readings, applied work, independent research, or other activities to address the individualized nature of the course. Approval of an independent study is based on the student’s readiness for independent work and the topic/materials are not a substitute for a required course. A student may not earn more than six (6) credits of independent study.
