Directed Study

Directed Study Application

This course allows you to investigate in depth some subject matter that is not treated in one of the ordinary courses offered by the College. Such a project typically is in your area of concentration or in some field in which you are especially prepared.

In order to register for a directed study, you must present plans, in advance of the pre-registration period, to a faculty member who agrees to direct and evaluate the project. If you are unsure of which faculty member to approach for a directed study, contact the department's chairperson.

To apply, use the on-line directed studies application and obtain the signatures specified in the form provided.

You may not take more than one three-credit directed study in a semester without the permission of the Office of Academic Services.

Directed study courses are listed on the student's transcript under the number 490 preceded by the department identification in which the project is being pursued.
