Independent Study
Projects in areas not covered by the University’s curriculum may be designed and conducted. The projects, whether conducted on or off campus, must be of an educational nature and of sufficient content to warrant credit. Each independent study proposal is developed by the student and a supervising faculty member. The independent study application is available from the University Registrar or the school dean. Approval of the completed application and learning plan developed in cooperation with the supervising faculty member must be secured from the supervising faculty member, student's advisor, department chair, and school dean prior to registration.
The applicant must have junior or senior standing.
A special fee of $50 per semester hour credit beyond tuition is assessed for an independent study.
