Individualized Studies (B.A.)
The Individualized Studies major in the liberal arts provides self-directed students the opportunity to integrate personal interests and academic objectives. The B.A. in Individualized Studies serves as a foundation for future studies, or for a variety of professions, through its emphasis on critical thinking, writing, reflection, and research in such areas of study as arts, literature, history, and philosophy or ethics.
The Individualized Studies major also provides students who have transfer courses, or other sources of prior college-level learning, an opportunity to create a unified and coherent program of study from prior educational experiences.
The Individualized Studies major is researched and planned with guidance in the four-credit course SDLR 550, Individualized Studies Seminar.* A proposal for the major must be submitted to Academic Affairs for approval.
Granite State College has developed templated programs in:
Please contact an academic advisor or the Individualized Studies Department in the Office of Academic Affairs for information on templated program options.
These templated options do not lead to public school teacher certification through the New Hampshire Department of Education, but may be used as a foundation for certain Granite State College Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification programs.
Note: Those intending to apply to the Post- Baccalaureate Teacher Certification program at Granite State College must also meet NHDOE general education requirements. Students must check with their advisor to clarify how best to meet these requirements.
*Students electing to pursue templated program options in English Language Arts, English, Math Studies or Social Studies are exempt from the SDLR 550 requirement.
A minimum of 32 semester credit hours is required in the major with five courses at the upper level.
Students will:
- demonstrate the ability to be a self-directed learner by determining individual academic objectives and activities, and evaluating the resulting learning.
- attain proficiency in the knowledge, theories, methods of inquiry, and use of information resources pertinent to a substantial and coherent area of study.
- develop knowledge and skills in a specific discipline or clearly articulated interdisciplinary area at the introductory through advanced level.
- use ongoing reflective learning to articulate the progression and integration of one's learning in the selected area of study.
