Independent Study

Students have the opportunity to conduct their own independent study related to their field of study for a predetermined number of academic credits. Requirements may differ between various programs, but all programs follow a similar approval process that requires students to fill out the approval form below.

Internships

The academic internship is a valuable extension of formal academic education. It affords students an opportunity to combine their educational experience with professional work experience for academic credit. At the date of completion, the form below needs to be filled out in order to approve the credits earned. For questions about requirements and eligibility, contact the office of your respective program.

Professional Development

Southeast wants all students to have meaningful experiential learning as part of their education. Southeast has established a fund to support professional experiences for students. The fund helps make possible the participation by students in real-world, professional presentations of the results of research and other creative work. The program supports travel, lodging and other expenses related to these activities (subject to university policies governing faculty/staff travel) on a competitive basis. This program is run directly by the Funding for Results Team as a permanent program.
