Independent study elective courses offer students the opportunity to work one-on-one with faculty in an area of shared scholarship. Employers and graduate schools like to see this experience in your college education because it develops your initiative, responsibility and creativity.
Students must adhere to the Independent Study Guidelines and Instructions when submitting a contract plan for approval. The student is responsible for approaching faculty with an idea for independent study.
