ENG 499TUT - Independent Study


English undergraduate students may pursue independent studies with faculty members who agree to work with them on a topic of their choice. Independent Studies range from 1-6 credits, depending upon the nature and scope of the project. These courses give students the chance to pursue individual interests while working one-on-one with scholarly specialists. Past Independent Studies have included research on autobiography as a genre, a study of intersections of queer theory and Shakespeare studies, editorial work with the gender studies journal Speakeasy, and an exploration of African American vernacular in literary works.
