Prerequisite: Committee Approval

Semester of Full Year

Open to Grades 10-12

0.5 or 1 Credit by Arrangement

Sophomores, Juniors, and seniors may choose to pursue an independent study project in an area of interest outside the scope of the regular curriculum.  A student must propose a project, identify an adviser, and file an application for approval by the Independent Study Committee.  Credit is dependent on the successful completion of the work as stated in the proposal. A project cannot replace a regularly scheduled, required course.  Seniors must complete a semester of Independent Study in the fall in order for it to count as an elective course credit for graduation. If a senior elects to pursue an Independent Study in the  spring semester, the credit must be in addition to their 24 credits required for graduation.  Detailed information on eligibility and application procedures is available in the Guidance Department.
