Independent Study Program

Seminarians in II Theology, III Theology, and IV Theology having a cumulative average of 3.50 or higher may occasionally request to take an independent course of study to fulfill an elective requirement.

The seminarian who wishes to take such a course should first ask the permission of the Academic Dean. If the request is approved, the seminarian must then ask a professor to guide his study. If the professor is willing to do so, the seminarian must then submit a completed Agreement for Study (forms for which are available in the Academic Dean’s Office) to the Academic Dean, whose approval will be necessary before the independent study program begins.

It should be noted that the general rules for electives for the satisfaction of the Master of Divinity requirements remain in effect. The course of independent study should, therefore, be planned with those elective requirements in mind.
