Students, who wish to do an independent study project (ISP), should speak to a faculty member willing to serve as sponsor, then fill out a "Request for Approval of Credit for Independent Study" and obtain signatures from the sponsor and chair of the department. File this form with the Committee on Programs and Academic Standing, which must approve all requests. (No credit is given for an internship or job experience per sé, but credit is given for an academic research paper written in conjunction with an internship, subject to procedures outlined above.) Students must consult with the sponsor in advance of filing as to workload and points of credit. A project approved for 3 or 4 points counts as a course for the purpose of the ten-course major or five-course minor requirement. No more than two such 3- or 4-point projects may be used for the major, and no more than one for the minor. An independent study project may not be used to satisfy either the colloquium or senior essay requirements. 1-4 points. Group or individual meetings, depending on instructor. Course requirements are satisfied through completion of the Senior Essay, a project involving research using primary sources, which may include documents, interviews, field observation, or other data. Admission to each section is limited. Students are admitted by the Barnard Political Science Department and not by individual instructors. Apply through the Department Office during the semester preceding senior standing. Only the two-semester research seminar POLS BC 3761-3762 satisfies the senior essay requirement for Barnard Political Science majors. The senior seminar must be taken for both semesters; there is no single-semester seminar option. These two semesters must be taken sequentially and cannot be taken concurrently.
