Contract Learning Center
If you are interested in participating in independent study or an
internship for academic credit, you should consider completing a
contract under the supervision of a faculty member. Students have
done all sorts of independent projects, including climbing a mountain,
investigating jazz music in Birmingham, and compiling an oral history
of the homeless. If you will be going off campus to complete any
part of your contract, you are required to sign a release form. Click
on release forms to determine the one that you need. Contracts can
be completed any term during the academic year with appropriate faculty
approval.
