This course gives students the opportunity to explore subject areas not part of the regular curriculum. In order to pursue an independent study course, students must enlist the support of a faculty member as an advisor for the work to be undertaken. In consultation with a faculty advisor, students will develop and submit a written program and work schedule proposal. These documents will identify a title and objectives for the course; the literature to be covered; and the elements to be submitted for evaluation, their due dates, and the percentage accorded to each element to be evaluated. See Planning Handbook.
