*DIRECTED READINGS/INDEPENDENT STUDY The Directed Readings course is an option for serious students who have a topic they wish to study in depth that is not offered in the regular curriculum. These courses cannot be taken in lieu of any major/minor requirement course and will be offered only at the discretion and agreement of the faculty member involved. Before approaching a faculty member with the request to supervise a Directed Readings Course, the student must (1) write a one-page description of the area of interest (2) draft a bibliography (3) and propose a time-line for the submission of work. If the faculty member agrees to work with the student, they will proceed at the faculty memberŐs discretion. Study Abroad Only study abroad credits taken through UND in Toledo or Guanajuato will be accepted for major/minor degree except for Langs 318 which can be applied as an elective towards the major. |
