Independent Study Policy

Credit allocation ranges from 1-3 credits. The student chooses the topic in consultation with the faculty sponsor. The quality and depth of content studied will determine the credits allocated for the course. The time allocated for 1-1 meetings with the student/faculty sponsor plus time allocated for student assignments should equal the hour/credit equivalent of 1 credit/15 hours; 2 credits/30 hours or; 3 credits/45 hours.
