Independent Study

This course provides the opportunity for investigation of a special topic or project of interest to a student and a supervising biology faculty member. Students must contact the faculty member and request permission to register. Independent study may involve a literature search, writing a research proposal, and/or a lab/field study. This course cannot be used as a biology elective. Students must complete the Independent Study/Tutorial Authorization form and submit it to the Registrar’s office.

Completion of the online Intent form for the Biology Department is also required.
