Independent Study

By arrangement between individual students and faculty members, the college offers independent study opportunities. Independent study is conducted under the guidance and at the discretion of a faculty member qualified in the subject area. Independent study is considered part of a regular course load, and regular academic calendar deadlines and requirements will apply. Interested students may obtain information from their advisor. Independent study is a program that allows a student to learn outside the confines of scheduled classes. As the name implies, much of the learning takes place without the direct involvement of an instructor. The delivery of course content may vary, but a student must achieve the same course competencies that exist in conventional classes.
