This course is designed by the student and sponsoring faculty to investigate an area or field of specialization not normally offered in scheduled course offerings. It is an opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty member to engage in fieldwork/internship, research, curriculum development, or another independent project. Through course meetings and assignments, students develop the necessary skills to later use in their job search and career. Students who are participating in fieldwork must complete at least 45 hours of work per credit. Students must obtain an independent study approval form from their advisor.
