Directed independent study in an area of student interest. Projects should be approved by the instructor by midterm of the semester prior to the semester in which the work is to be undertaken. After approval of the topic, the student is expected to engage in general bibliographical study, to participate in conferences with the instructor, to report on reading, and to write papers as directed by the instructor. Only one independent study may be counted toward the major.

Prerequisite: Any 200-level ENGL course with a D or better.
