Some instructional units offer students individual and small-group study under the supervision of faculty members. Students must submit a detailed description of proposed independent projects to faculty members who will supervise the work. A project must be approved by the faculty sponsor and by the appropriate department or discipline head or faculty committee before the student registration can be completed. First-term, first-year students normally are not allowed to take independent study, and no more than 25 percent of a student`s work toward a degree may consist of independent study, internship, and summer work experience.
