Academic Standards Handbook

4.7 Individual Studies

Individual study provides an opportunity for the above-average student to do independent research in areas not covered in the regular curriculum, or to explore in much greater depth a topic covered in a class.  Each independent study project must be arranged in advance through a supervised faculty member.  The standard tuition charge will be made.  A maximum of six credit hours may be applied toward graduation requirements.

I choose NJC for its affordability and its rather informal education style. Because it is a small college you have more one on one opportunities with your instructors.

Northeastern was the best choice because I got what I wanted.  NJC made it happen!

The teachers make it feel less like a school and more like a group of friends hanging out, while still learning.
