Directed Study Courses

Online and directed study courses are established Eckerd College courses completed outside the classroom setting over an 8 or 16 week period. Extensive reading and writing are required in directed study courses and work is done independently and submitted to the faculty member supervising the course.

Some classes are offered in a blended format combining class meetings with independent work.
