Directed Study/Directed Project

  • In a directed study or directed project students work closely with a faculty supervisor in designing and carrying out a self-designed project or course of study for credit. Directed Studies or Projects may not duplicate existing courses.
  • Proposals must be approved by the supervising faculty member and the department chair prior to the end of the examination period of the preceding semester. Directed Study/Project Proposal Forms and guidelines are available at the office for each academic department as well as the Academic Advising Center.
  • A student may not count more than 12 credits of any combination of Directed Study, Directed Project and Internship courses toward the total graduation requirements.
  • See the undergraduate catalogue for specific Departmental requirements.
