Independent Study (6995) courses provide students the opportunity to study and investigate areas of interest not available through normal course offerings.
A 6995 course is taken on the recommendation of the student's adviser and with the approval of the department chairperson. An approval form, which must be completed for each 6995 course, is available online.
Normally, no more than six credits of 6995 course work can be included in a master's degree program; no more than nine credits in a doctoral program.
