An independent study gives a student an opportunity to thoroughly examine a particular business-related topic of interest. To be eligible for an independent study, a student must have junior standing and have completed the core course(s) in the discipline of the independent study. A proposal must be submitted by the student and approved by the sponsoring faculty member, the Chair of the appropriate Academic Department, and The Clay Center at VSB. Proposals must be submitted to The Clay Center at VSB by the last day of the previous semester.
When successfully completed, the independent study may fulfill a major elective or free elective degree requirement. Please contact Academic Department Chair for additional information.
