Special/Independent Studies


Course Description

Individual special studies or projects which provide the opportunity to pursue research interests in historic preservation.

Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
This course was originally developed as a graduate course. As the course is now being expanded to include undergraduate participation, it is not that graduate students will do additional work, but that undergraduate students will do a lesser amount of work than is currently required for the graduate students. The depth of work will vary and will depend on the number of hours the student registers for.
