Independent Study

0.5-1 Course Unit

An opportunity for the biomedical informatics student to become closely associated with a professor to develop a program of independent in- depth study in a subject area in which the professor and student have a common interest that is not covered (or covered in depth) in the biomedical informatics program curriculum. The challenge of the task undertaken must be consistent with the student's academic level. To register for this course, the student and supervising professor jointly submit a detailed proposal to the program Curriculum Committee via the Program Coordinator not later than two weeks before the beginning of the semester. This course is open only to students enrolled in one of the approved Biomedical Informatics programs. The course can be taken for 0.5 or 1.0cu, depending on the depth and breadth of the proposed independent study. Fall or Spring 0.5-1 Course Unit
