Directed study

Individual students or small groups may wish to pursue an area of study outside of a structured class or project. CPCS provides the directed study option for these students. Typically, students would identify a competency or competencies they want to work on and coordinate with a faculty evaluator to develop a learning and demonstration plan for completing the competency. This is an excellent learning option for students who bring prior knowledge or experience in certain areas of the curriculum who want to build on that knowledge. It also extends the learning options for students who may wish to explore certain topics that are not addressed through organized learning activities in a given semester.
