Independent Study


Independent Study is available at the undergraduate, master’s and doctoral level. It allows the student and instructor to plan a course having a clear relationship to the student’s program. Independent Study is to be used only in cases where the course content is not available in a regular course and where there is clear justification for offering the option.

Courses to be taken as Independent Study must be approved by the supervising faculty member and the dean or designee. All Independent Study courses are available for one to four units and will be offered on a demand basis.
