Directed Study courses are Eckerd College courses that have been specifically adapted to and formally approved for delivery as self-study courses. For each Directed Study course there exists an approved study guide syllabus. Directed Studies can be taken while you reside on campus taking regular Summer School classes or can be pursued at home. Independent Study courses are specifically arranged courses that allow students the opportunity to pursue areas of study and research in which no course work is offered but for which appropriate faculty resources exist. Independent Study projects allow students great flexibility to pursue studies that are either of special interest to them or necessary for the completion of their degree plan requirements.
Registration is easy.
Currently enrolled Eckerd students can obtain registration forms beginning in mid-April at the Summer School Office. Completed forms must be returned to the Summer School Office. All completed forms, along with payment should be mailed back to the Summer School Office. Registration is not complete until we receive an official transcript from your present college. If you have not previously attended college, we must have an official transcript from your high school.
