Independent Study

Independent Study Course (ISC)

An Independent Study Course (ISC) is an optional course of study for seniors and, with permission, upper mids, who have exhausted the published curriculum within an academic department. Please note that approval is not guaranteed–the expectations are high, and Hotchkiss cannot practically support all proposals.Students may begin speaking with sponsoring faculty about their independent study plans, but the approval process takes place during the Add-Drop period.  Students hoping to engage in independent study next year should sign up for other classes, including 2nd and 3rd choices as appropriate, and then apply for Independent Study in the fall.
