Student Handbook

Individual Investigation and Special Topics

Through Individual Investigation and Special Topics courses, you may participate in advanced or interdisciplinary studies, special projects, research activities, or field experiences not otherwise offered in your program curriculum. As the course titles imply, a student approved for such courses must be capable of independent, self-disciplined study with less instructor supervision and guidance than is provided in most courses.

If you are interested in enrolling in an individual investigation or special topics course, you must meet with your academic advisor or program director. They will discuss with you whether the course will fit into your program course requirements and how to complete the necessary Individual Investigation Form and plan of study.
