Directed Study

Under special circumstances, students in need of a course listed in the Catalog but not currently offered are permitted to take the course by directed study. Approval is granted on an individual basis at the discretion of the Dean, and the privilege is limited. Except under the most unusual circumstances, a student may take only one Directed Study course per semester. To take a Directed Study, a student must be a junior or senior with a minimum average of 2.500 and must complete the Application for Directed Study form.  

Directed studies are treated as regular courses and are counted as part of the student’s regular workload. If the work for the directed study is not to be completed, the student must withdraw within regular deadlines published on the Academic Calendar. Directed Studies for which work is not completed during the semester are subject to the Incomplete Course policy in this catalog.
