What does it mean to be an independent learner?
Independent Study is a "distance learning" opportunity
that allows you to study outside the confines of a
classroom. You will set your own schedule, working on
your own time and at your pace. Don't worry, you will
have opportunity for interaction and feedback with your
professors. The faculty expectations are as high as in a
regular class, so be prepared to demonstrate what you
learn, not just copy the text.
Because of the flexibility of the courses, Independent
Study students must motivate themselves to keep up with
their studies. Your professors and the staff members in
the Independent Study office can help you design a
schedule to finish your assignments in a timely manner.
We suggest that you begin your course right away and
proceed at a regular pace.
