INDEPENDENT STUDIES
have long formed a significant part of the experience of students who study with the Department of History.  Independent Study projects are available for variable credit; their exact nature is determined via the mutual consent of faculty supervisor and student.  Independent Study forms, available from the Registrar's Office, Brownson Hall, are filled out describing the proposed project, signed, and filed with the Registrar.  The projects may consist of tutorials, written essays, or a combination of the above.  Interested students should speak to a faculty member.

Independent Studies afford  opportunities for directed study of topics not covered in the regular courses offered, or not covered to the degree of interest on the part of the student.  They also facilitate direct interaction between faculty member and student.

Here are some examples, among many, of recent Independent Studies by Manhattanville History students:

*Modern Iraq

*Muhammed Ali

*Palestine/Israel Conflict

*Afghanistan

*American Finance

*Julius Caesar

*New York Yankees

*N.Y.C. Police Department

*Title IX & Women's Sports

*Professional Basketball

*World War II, Pacific Theater
