Supervised Research and Writing Project
(Independent Study)
A Supervised Research & Writing project (also known as an Independent Study) with a full-time faculty member may satisfy the requirement and allow a student to earn a maximum of 3 semester credits. All independent studies must be supervised by a faculty member. A part-time faculty member may supervise the work with the additional approval of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Students interested in this option must file two forms with the Registrar's Office: the Intent to Complete the Upperclass Writing Requirement form and the Supervised Research & Writing form. Students may learn more about pursuing an independent study online or by consulting the Student Handbook.
