How do I arrange a C590 (Independent Study) or C599 (Project Demonstrating Expertise)?
Both of these types of classes require that you have both have a project/topic area in mind and find a professor willing to supervise the project. C590s are often research projects conducted under the guidance of a faculty member. C599s are work-related projects conducted under the supervision of both a faculty member and your employer. To set up a C590 or C599, after the faculty member has agreed to supervise, an email needs to be sent to the M.B.A. Director – Dr. Linda S. Ficht (lficht@iuk.edu) stating the semester the project will occur, the topic, and the faculty member involved. The M.B.A. Director will then set up the section of C590 and authorize you into that section. This can take a few days to accomplish so allow plenty of time.
