Procedures
1. The student should first discuss the idea for an independent study project with his/her
advisor; the advisor gives preliminary approval to the project as one that is appropriate
for credit in the Collaborative MSW Program;
2. The student should identify and consult with a faculty member who might be willing to
serve as the faculty member supervising the independent study;
3. Together, the student and faculty member develop a draft syllabus for the project.
The syllabus should include:
The purpose of the project, including the content area to be covered, e.g. research,
practice, HBSE, policy or diversity and the specific area of practice;
An overview of topics to be addressed during the project;
List the relevant MSW Competencies to be acquired in the course
A preliminary list of readings;
The bases on which the student will be graded.
4. The student also completes either the ―University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Proposal
Form for: Independent Study‖ or The ―University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Graduate
School and Research Independent Study Contract‖. The draft syllabus is attached to this
form, and these materials are sent to the Collaborative MSW Program Coordinator. Final
approval is given by the respective Graduate Studies office of the student’s home
university. A copy of these materials is kept in the student file.
