Individual Study
Throughout your graduate career it will be necessary to work on individual research projects.
Tip: Be prepared.
If you approach a professor with a well-defined project, a solid reading list and a request for reasonable number of credits, the professor will be more likely to take you on as a student than if you simply state, “I want to study something about Latin Literature”.
You will also need to determine how you will earn your credits. The usual method for earning credits is to complete a paper. As always, your professor has the final word in determining what the requirements will be for your project and how many credits you will earn. Be sure to get permission from the professor who will be supervising your project before registering.
Registration:
Instructions for in-state students: Independent study courses (i.e., LNW6905, LNW6940, LNW6971, LNW7979, LNW7980) require that the student must FIRST receive permission from the faculty advisor who will be supervising their work. In order for your registration to be processed, you must print the Registration Approval form and fill it out. Fax or mail your completed form to the Classics Department (fax number and address are on the form).
If you are an out-of-state student, you will be required to fill out and submit the Registration Approval form on the DoCE registration page to the Department of Classics. Don't forget, you still need to register for the class in DoCE!
