Independent Study

Students may increase the breadth of their experiential learning through independent study, which includes the development of daily journals, term or research papers, and/or literature searches. There are various options for students to pair additional independent study credit(s) through FISH 497 Independent Study, either separate from or in conjunction with their fisheries experiential learning experience. Students wishing to add an independent study component for one, two, or three credits to their FISH 490 Fisheries Experience Learning course must also meet all of the requirements and complete the assignments for FISH 490. Note that the CFOS experiential learning coordinator will not allow individual study associated with experiential learning if students do not meet the basic requirements listed below. Copies of the syllabi for FISH 497 Independent Study as a one-, two-, or three-credit option, which provide additional details on specific requirements for each credit option, can be found below. In addition, the Individual Study Form to enroll for FISH 497 credits is also below.
