- A directed study course is an independent, in-depth study or research project pursued by a student. It involves working individually under the direction of the supervising faculty member with the approval of the appropriate department chair.
- The topic to be studied must be submitted by the student to the supervising faculty member for approval prior to or at the start of the semester.
- The topic to be studied should explore a subject beyond its treatment in an advanced-level course in the University curriculum.
- The student’s ability to define a problem and investigate it thoroughly (through intensive study that leads to the preparation of a well-researched paper) will be central to his/her success in any directed study course.
- Students are limited to one directed study per semester and a maximum of two directed studies during their Bryant career.
- Directed studies cannot be used as substitutes for Bryant courses in the catalog.
