Independent Study is an opportunity, primarily for advanced undergraduate majors and graduate students, to earn academic credit studying individually with one or more members of the regular babyÖ±²¥app of the Linguistics department. Independent Study may be used to fulfill elective hours in the undergraduate major or toward a graduate degree. It may not be used to fulfill MAPS or Core curriculum requirements. It is also not intended to be used by students to take a regular course not being offered that term, or to ‘fill out’ a schedule in a particular term. Find out more about independent study.
