Course Information

Description

An independent study is individual, highly specialized research in a field of special interest to the student that is also of interest to an HGSE faculty member. Independent Studies can be completed for four credits (approx. 96 hours) or for two credits (approx. 48 hours). Given the vast array of available HGSE courses, Independent Studies should be rare, with rigorous readings, discussions, and deliverables, on par with equivalent credit-bearing courses and modules.

In order to pursue an S999 Independent Study, students must:

1. Meet with potential faculty supervisor and discuss project.
2. Fill out the S999 proposal form in my.Harvard by selecting the "Submit Proposal" button above. 
3. Once approved by faculty supervisor, a section of S999 will be added to the student's cart. 
4. Finalize enrollment from the Crimson Cart.
