Directed Study

In PRWR 7950: MAPW Directed Study, you will work one-on-one with a faculty member. A directed study cannot take the place of a course offered by the MAPW Program but it can supplement its courses. To enroll in a directed study, follow these steps:

  1. Ask a member of the faculty whose expertise corresponds to the topic you plan on studying to supervise your directed study.
  2. With the help of the faculty member supervising your directed study, create a detailed syllabus that includes:
    1. a book list
    2. a meeting-by-meeting schedule
    3. all requirements for completion of the course, including tests, papers, etc.
  3. The faculty advisor will access the Directed Study Request Form through DocuSign. The form is due on the last day of classes in the semester before the direct study is to occur.

For directed study questions, contact Dr. Aaron Levy at alevy2@kennesaw.edu.
