Independent Study

Opportunities for independent study are available to currently enrolled students who have completed a minimum of 12 hours of graduate study at Saint Rose. Independent study may take the form of research, tutorials, directed readings or special projects under the direction of full-time faculty members with whom students consult periodically during the semester. Formal application for independent studies, together with complete outlines or syllabi, must be filed in the Registrar’s office prior to the published semester registration deadline. Independent studies are not available when courses related to the topic are available. Credit earned in independent studies may not exceed six credits.

Students who wish to pursue independent studies have the responsibility to secure approvals from faculty members in the academic discipline to be studied, realizing that faculty members may not always be able to accommodate requests. The appropriate dean’s approval is required.
