Independent Study

Independent study is available to junior or senior students in good academic standing and to Graduate students. All fields are open to this academic alternative. A variety of designs are encouraged: travel study, semiprofessional work, or research experience. The title and description of the design and content must be submitted to the supervising instructor, the appropriate division chair, and the college dean at least one month prior to registration. If approved, the course will be assigned a title and departmental prefix, plus a course number from the series 199, 387, 388, 487, 488 and 591.

Independent study design may not duplicate any course listed in the Catalog, and credit may not be taken on a pass/fail basis. A student may enroll for a maximum of six credit hours of independent study each semester and is limited to a maximum of 12 credit hours for undergraduates and six credit hours for degree seeking Graduate students.
