The special studies course is an opportunity for students to study a specific topic not concurrently taught in a focused manner in the school's regular course offerings. Topics may vary based on student interest. Learning in this course is self-directed, which means that students are required to plan, propose, and carry out their program of study with supervision from a faculty advisor.
