ELEC 104 – Research
Students are invited to participate in research projects at the discretion of the professor. The amount of credit and time will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
MED 515 – Independent Study
In this course, students learn the skills of a systematic approach to acquiring important medical data via independent study. Medical information acquisition and further review of topics of interest will be accomplished under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Students will develop their skills by working with an individual professor who agrees to monitor their experience. Students will be responsible for defining their area of interests, and arranging the experience with their faculty mentor (variable hours and credits). This course may be taken any semester with permission of the Dean of Basic Sciences and the instructor.
