Alternative Study

Students may choose to pursue an alternative 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 Alternative 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 Alternative Study in the fall in order for it to count as an elective course credit for graduation. If a senior elects to pursue an Alternative Study in the spring semester, the credit must be in addition to their 25 credits required for graduation.  Detailed information on eligibility and application procedures is available in the Guidance Department.  This course counts as an elective credit per PPT or 504 team decision.
