APPLICATION FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY
GUIDELINES FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY:
1. An independent study project must be individually designed and directed toward a definite goal in order to enrich
the educational objectives of the student. It must involve a substantial body of college-level literature, field work,
methodology, and/or theory.
2. A project must be sponsored by a faculty member who will approve the proposal as being worthwhile and
feasible, be available for consultation on the project, and evaluate the student’s performance.
3. Independent study generally requires more time than do regular classroom courses. The amount of credit given
should be consistent with time spent by the student and the level of work required. It is also expected that
independent studies will involve regular meetings with the sponsoring faculty member.
4. Only students with Junior or Senior status who are fully matriculated at King’s College may register for an
Independent Study.
5. The student wishing to do an independent study project must submit the Application for Independent Study to
