CINST 6999 Independent Study
Independent study is an educational opportunity undertaken by a student to learn specialized material or gain practical, studio, or research experience. Independent studies provide a way for well-motivated students to pursue a topic of interest that does not necessarily fit into a traditional academic curriculum. Students may also use the Independent study option to complete an existing course with an instructor on an individual basis. Independent study involves less instruction and guidance from instructors than a traditional course, and for an agreed upon number of academic credits.
