CDU's independent study program has attracted nearly 10,000 students in 15 years. It is designed to meet the needs of adult learners eager to participate more actively in their own academic and spiritual growth while, at the same time, meeting their needs for flexibility and convenience.
Independent study offers the option of enrolling for credit or noncredit.
Approximately twenty percent of CDU's students enroll for credit which includes additional tuition, a term paper and proctored final examination for each course. All other course requirements are the same for both options. For further information on enrolling for credit, see the enrollment form. No matter which course and option you choose, personal help is always available. A caring and responsive Student Services Staff will assist you by mail, e-mail, telephone or fax on course procedures throughout the period of your enrollment.
