NUR 499 Independent Study

The Independent Study Program affords the opportunity for the nursing student who wishes to undertake a well-defined project. While the student conducts work under the guidance of a nurse faculty member, the project is carried out in an independent manner without regular class meetings. Effective independent study is characterized by a reduction in formal instruction and an increase in the individual student’s responsibility and initiative in the learning process. Prerequisite: Students must have earned 60 or more credits and a minimum of 2.5 cumulative grade point average at the time of application and approval of the Department of Nursing.
