Independent Study

1-3 units

This graduate-level independent study is a course designed to offer MA and PhD candidates the opportunity to engage in self-directed learning focused on a specialized topic of their choosing in consultation with a member of the faculty. Under the supervision of the faculty advisor, students undertake a semester-long course of study that covers areas not represented by course offerings that are nonetheless crucial for the completion of the degree. Working closely with the faculty advisor, students will devise a plan of study, establish objective, and regularly meet to discuss progress and receive feedback. This course offers variable graded of 1-3 units and is repeatable with a maximum of 6 graded units.
