Remarks

This Independent Study is an opportunity for students to work with a faculty member on a topic of mutual interest in geospatial intelligence. Students must have strong professional experience or have taken courses in the subject matter leading up to the chosen topic. Independent Study is reserved for advanced specialties or for intermediate study in areas in which the department does not normally offer course work. Faculty members are under no obligation to accept Independent Study students, but do so as their teaching load permits.

The Independent Study allows students to complete some of their credit requirements by studying on their own. A student and his or her faculty adviser must agree in advance on the topic and approach of the study program and meet periodically to discuss the student's progress. A minimum of 25 hours of time is required for each semester hour of credit.
