Independent Study Courses

Students who have done well in other classes may, with my permission, take certain classes via independent study. These classes may be audited ($50 per hour) or taken for credit ($225 per hour), and may be taken at any time as long as they are completed within one year of registration. All courses are two semester hours, unless otherwise noted.

The following classes may be taken by independent study. Course descriptions are available for those that are hyperlinked:

To take courses via independent study, the student must first secure my permission and then register and pay for the class with the registrar (registrar@cityseminary.org). Once the registrar has informed me that the registration process has been completed, I'll give the student access to all other course materials.
