Independent Study


Under special circumstances, students may petition to work on individual projects in lieu of one of their regular courses.  This type of study will consist of steady work under the regular supervision of a qualified advisor.  To undertake an independent study, the student must secure the permission of both the director-in-residence and of a faculty member of the home college department which most closely relates to the material of the study.  Any student contemplating such a project is advised to discuss this in general terms with the faculty member prior to departure for Spain.  Final permission from the home professor will be sought by fax or e-mail during the first week of HCAYS classes.
