Special Studies Courses

These options include undergraduate teaching assistantships, and opportunities to study topics not in the regular departmental
curriculum. You can tell more about a Special Studies course by checking the number:

  • 195 - teaching assistant (8 units of 195 count for graduation credit, 3.0 GPA required) 
  • 196 - special honors courses; see your department 
  • 197 - internships sponsored by some departments or Warren College 
  • 198 - small group study courses with a particular professor
  • 199 - individual study courses with a particular professor.

Eligibility for Special Studies 197-199 requires ninety completed units, 2.5 GPA, and prior completion of any prerequisites stipulated by the instructor or the department. Departments have information on 195's. Start planning such a project early.
