Independent Study

Catalog description

The Independent Study allows a student to pursue an area of academic or research interest within the field of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies that goes beyond existing course work. The Independent Study is carried out outside the classroom under the guidance and with the assistance of a faculty sponsor. A student may register for an independent study project by submitting an Independent Study project proposal. Guidelines for designing and gaining approval for an Independent Study proposal are provided in College of Liberal Arts Policy I.D. To submit a WGST Independent Study proposal and receive an official course grade, the student must have completed 3 courses in WGST core or co-listed courses, have a minimum GPA of 2.7 at the time of the application, and complete the work described in the proposal.
