Field Experience
Graduate students in English can take 3 credits of Field Experience. These credits are often earned when students have the opportunity to do some professional or community writing, or when they wish to shadow a faculty member teaching literature, creative writing, or an upper division writing course.

Independent Study
An independent study is different than field experience; an independent study is an academic course designed by a student to fill a relevant gap in his or her plan of study. Download the Independent Study Guidelines and Forms
