Special Educational Experiences

Independent Study

Rockford University faculty members support independent study to encourage qualified students to pursue learning actively throughout life. The format of independent study, outlined in a written application developed with the supervising instructor, may vary from student to student. An additional fee is charged for independent study.

Tutorial Courses

At the discretion of the department chair and the instructor involved, and with the approval of the Chief Academic Officer, students who need major field courses that are listed in the catalog, but are not currently offered, may arrange to take the courses as tutorials. Tutorials cover the same material and have the same number of credits as regular course offerings. An additional fee will be charged. No more than three courses can be taken as tutorials without approval of the MBA Director or the Education Unit Teacher Education Program (TEP) Council. An additional fee is charged for tutorials.
