Independent Study

Independent study is available for students wishing to pursue subjects not covered in the normal course offerings of the University. Interested students are to identify a faculty mentor and determine the goals and objectives of the independent study. Students often use independent study to explore initial research opportunities and/or to gain practical experience in the application of their discipline in professional and community settings. An approved written proposal entitled Registration for Independent Study is developed by the student and faculty mentor and is submitted for approval to the student’s departmental chair, dean, and the Provost. This proposal is filed with the Registrar at the time of registration.
