How can I do an independent study?
Normally your work in psychology will take place within the curriculum of courses listed in the catalog. However, in exceptional circumstances, you can take an independent study (Psychology 199 or 299 or 399) to study a topic not covered in our courses, or to do a research project, or to study a specialized topic in depth. Speak to your advisor to find out more. Normally not more than one independent study can be counted toward your psychology major.
