Students also have significant time to pursue independent study of course material. Students are given the opportunity to participate in Student Summer Research Fellowships which allow them to conduct research under the guidance of a faculty sponsor. The fellowships are scheduled over the summer months for a period of 10 weeks. Students who are seriously interested apply with a faculty sponsor. Winners are sent to a national meeting.
Individual classes have an audio-taping service.
Tapes can be checked out. Note-taking services vary from class to class. There is some flexibility about what you take and when. There is deceleration available for some students who make special and compelling requests. Acceleration is available through accelerated residency programs.
