Independent Study is a form of study by special arrangement with a member of the teaching faculty. Students must file a petition for Independent Study (available in the Registrar’s Office). IS 285 is appropriate for beginning work in an area; IS 385, intermediate work; and IS 485, advanced work. Students may earn up to three credits and are advised to enroll in only one Independent Study each semester. These studies receive a standard letter grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internships<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An internship is any experience in which a student learns by taking on the responsible role of worker in an organization and observing and reflecting on the experience. Expected outcomes of such experiences include increased self-esteem and personal growth derived from successfully meeting new interpersonal and intellectual challenges, acquisition of particular skills and knowledge, exposure to various work roles and career choices, and service to a particular community or group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
