Independent Study and Lab Practicum

Independent study and lab practicum experiences provide the ideal opportunity for a student to do an extended research project in a subject of particular interest. Students are encouraged to do independent studies and lab practicum with a faculty member with whom they have previously taken a course. Faculty in the program are usually limited in the number of independent studies and lab practicum they mentor each semester. Please apply early.

Students interested in completing an independent study or lab practicum experience should download and complete the application (below) and obtain all required signatures before the end of drop/add in the appropriate semester. Start this process early - ideally in the semester before you hope to enroll.
