Directed Study
Directed Study refers to learning experiences individually arranged between a University undergraduate student and a member of the University faculty for earning academic credit while gaining applied experience in educational or human service setting in the community.
Directed study credit will not be awarded for experience alone, but should be related to the description and analysis of that experience organized with information gained from selected readings and any information from classroom, textbooks, or personal interviews that are appropriate.
