In addition to\u00a0internship credit (COM 49000)<\/a><\/span>, the School offers students two other ways to pursue their interests in more depth:\u00a0research credit<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and directed studies.\u00a0 Both are available for 1-3 hours (variable credit), both require faculty advisors, and the forms for both are available below and on the\u00a0research credit page<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Directed studies give students the chance to design their own classes.\u00a0 With the help of their faculty advisors, students can investigate topics of interest that are not covered in regularly scheduled course offerings.\u00a0 The directed study format allows students to gain expertise in a specialized subject, design assignments that best fit their learning styles, and work more closely with faculty than in a regular classroom setting.<\/span><\/p>\n Before registering for the course, a student must find a faculty member who is willing to advise the student on the chosen topic.\u00a0 The student and faculty member will work together to develop a syllabus for the class that includes learning outcomes, assignments, and grading standards. Then they will both complete and sign the second document below for submission to the undergraduate committee.<\/span><\/p>\n Students wishing to take directed studies must follow all instructions on the application page. A completed application packet includes the following items:<\/span><\/p>\n Incomplete packets will be returned to students.<\/span><\/p>\n This, then, is how a student can pursue a directed study:<\/span><\/p>\nDirected Study (COM 49100)<\/span><\/h2>\n
