IICS 695 Independent Study
Students who wish to design and complete individual study projects geared to their particular interests, aptitudes and needs may register for this course (usually completed within one semester). The study must be managed by at least one academic advisor and approved by the Director of IICS. The topic of the project should be clearly related to international or civil security and should be a topic that is not covered through the regular IICS course offerings. The Independent Study may include: self-directed reading, research, fieldwork experience, public performance, occupational experience and/or other methods as appropriate. As Independent Study is largely driven by the student, the student must:
• Propose a topic for study;
• Identify an IICS or KU faculty member and request their supervision.
The student must meet with his/her faculty supervisor in person on regular intervals. The faculty supervisor will keep records of these meetings. In the first week of the Independent Study, the student must produce a Study Plan, approved by the faculty supervisor. At the conclusion of the Independent Study, the student will prepare a written report and an oral presentation of their findings or the equivalent thereof.
