Directed Study

The directed studies course is intended to help fill a conceptual void in the student’s program of study. The student will work with a faculty instructor to define a field of inquiry, develop a reading list related to the field of inquiry, and produce course deliverables that demonstrate an understanding of and engagement with the chosen reading list. It is the student’s responsibility to select the topic, generate a draft reading list, and negotiate with the instructor an agreed upon literature list. The role of the instructor is to facilitate the student’s self-exploration. This course requires the student to work mainly independently, with the level of instructor involvement negotiated with the instructor.
