An Independent Study is arranged, planned and managed by a supervising art history professor in conjunction with the learning outcomes that are proposed by the advanced student. AHI 499 may not be used to substitute for a class. Instead, it involves more self-discipline and a greater sense of direction than a faculty-led course. “Independent” does not imply “not involving a teacher” rather it means that learning takes place “independent of regular class meetings and/or independent of other students.” In consultation with the supervising professor, the student develops a learning contract, written proposal, semester calendar of regularly-scheduled meetings and a working bibliography. Senior class standing and a minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. Permission of the Art Department Chair and the Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities is required.
