Independent Study II

1-3 units

The purpose of an independent study is to enable a student to gain an in-depth knowledge of an area germane to a student’s course of study, which is not offered in a course at the Brown School. The need for and value of an independent study will be evaluated very carefully to determine if an independent study is justified. The student and the supervising full-time Brown School faculty member will arrange objectives for the content of each independent study. All independent studies should result in a tangible output as a basis for evaluation, e.g., a notebook, written paper, web pages or media presentation. All independent studies are evaluated using letter grades. Independent Study credit can only be applied towards elective credits.
