Independent Study

Catalog description

Advanced study, special project, or experiment, under supervision of an instructor, in an area of special interest to the student. This course provides an opportunity for students to do more advanced or extended work in a subject than current course offerings allow. A minimum of 45 hours of combined classroom/laboratory and supervised study time is required for each hour of credit. A plan, containing information about the nature of the study, criteria for evaluation, semester hours assigned, name of the faculty advisor assigned, and the division chair's approval must be submitted prior to registration. This plan, along with a copy of the course project and the faculty member's assessment report, will remain on file in the division office. The student's transcript will show the discipline in which the independent study was completed, and it will identify the subject of the study. INDP 297 may be repeated once for a total of no more than 6 semester hours credit in independent study.
