Honors Independent Study

Catalog description

Students can create a course in an area of interest outside of the standard curriculum offered in a class. The student must identify a faculty member who will supervise the course and using the approved form, submit a detailed description of the coursework to be completed, including reading lists and/ or research objectives and a clear indication of the final product to be submitted for evaluation. The form should also include any agreement reached as to the application of the Independent Study course to the student's degree plan. Independent Studies must be approved by the Honors College Dean and may be applied towards Honors College credit or, as one example, may be used as credit in a student’s major program as an elective.
