Advanced Independent Study

Catalog description

Students may enroll in an Independent Study to do work that would not be covered by an existing course in the Department. Working with a full-time faculty member, students develop a plan of study that outlines the project, the schedule, and the number of contact hours with the faculty (at least one meeting every two weeks is required) an approximate number of hours per week to be spent on the project (approximately 4-5 hours per week per point of Independent Study). Independent Study credit for crew work done in a Core Production workshop in which the student is NOT enrolled is limited to two (2) points, and the experience is not considered for a prerequisite equivalent. Please keep in mind, however, that all Independent Study credit is designated as Craft by Degree Audit. A student may not exceed three (3) Independent Studies (12 points) toward degree requirements. Students enrolled in Independent Study DO NOT have access to Departmental facilities or equipment for production projects, and are not covered by school insurance. This course allocates as a Craft for Film & TV majors. Students must have Junior or Senior standing. COURSE SUBJECT TO DEPARTMENTAL FEES. THIS COURSE HAS PREREQUISITES. Non-majors must process a "Permission Notice for Non-Majors" form to register for the course (subject to availability).
