Individually Designed Courses Clause Samples

The 'Individually Designed Courses' clause establishes the framework for creating customized educational courses tailored to the specific needs or interests of a student. Typically, this clause outlines the process for proposing, approving, and monitoring such courses, which may involve collaboration between the student, faculty advisor, and relevant academic departments. By allowing for flexibility beyond standard curriculum offerings, this clause enables students to pursue unique academic goals or specialized topics not covered by existing courses, thereby promoting personalized learning and academic innovation.
