Independent Study
Students who have been admitted to a bachelor's degree program
and who wish to pursue academic interests not covered by
SCS course offerings may design an independent study project.
The most advanced course a student can take, independent
study is comparable to a 300-level course. Eligible degree-seeking
students must have completed a minimum of 22 units - at least
4 at SCS - and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.
The independent study project may involve in-depth research
extending a topic introduced in a regular course, original
research, or creative work produced under the guidance of
a faculty member. Independent study applications can
be downloaded here (PDF
Format) and must be submitted to the Student Affairs Committee
for approval at least two weeks
before the start of a quarter. Required courses in the major
may not be taken as independent study, and students may not
register for more than one unit of independent study in a
quarter. Students may enroll in a maximum of three independent
study courses in a bachelor's degree program.
