Independent Study - 625.800

An individually tailored, supervised project on a subject related to applied and computational mathematics. The content and expectations are formalized in negotiations between the student and the faculty sponsor. A maximum of one independent study course may be applied toward the master of science degree or post-master’s certificate. While 625.800 generally counts as a 700-level or greater course, if the student is taking a regular ACM (or other) course as an independent study, the regular course number applies (e.g., if the student is using 625.800 as a means of taking a 600-level course off of its normal schedule, then the independent study counts as a 600-level course). This course may not be used towards the ACM MS or PMC if a student also wishes to count 625.801–802 or 625.803–804 towards the MS degree or PMC. This course may only be taken in the second half of a student’s degree program. All independent studies must be supervised by a current ACM instructor (exceptions must be approved by the ACM Program Chair) and must rely on material from prior ACM courses. The independent study project proposal form (see https://ep.jhu.edu/current-students/student-forms/) must be approved prior to registration
