    Student-designed independent studies give Metropolitan State students the opportunity to plan their own study. This type of independent learning strategy can be useful because it allows students: to study a subject in more depth, at a more advanced level; to pursue a unique project that requires specialized study; to draw together several knowledge areas or interests into a specialized study; to test independent learning capabilities and skills; or to use special learning resources in the community, taking advantage of community education opportunities which, in themselves, would not yield a full college competence. Students should contact their academic advisor for more information.

    Intended for any student with an interest in careers addressing social problems, this course explores how anthropology and sociology work outside the classroom. Diverse fields like health care, government, corporate research, immigration, international development, and more apply anthropological and sociological insights and methods. Further, publicly-oriented anthropology and sociology professors take lessons from the classroom and apply them to the real world. The course starts by examining case studies from such applied and public work. After identifying a particular social issue they wish to address, students will take an ethnographic approach to exploring it, and create dossiers that include relevant research, lists of organizations, necessary skills and methods, and types of work available. By end of semester, students will have informational interviews with professionals working on their chosen issue.
