To meet this need, the following study options are made available. Please refer to individual department policy and procedures for specific information on these courses.
210-220-230; 310-320-330 Directed Study
Directed study courses are individualized study courses under the general supervision of a faculty member. The topic chosen by the student and approved by the faculty member and department must be sufficiently delimited to permit oral and written reports. In this type of study, the student is expected to consult the faculty member periodically and report on progress being made.
Directed study is open to students of all classifications. The student must have demonstrated a capacity to do individual work and have a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average.
179-279-379-479-579 Special Topics
This is a specialized opportunity for in-depth analysis of a selected topic not available in the regular departmental course offerings. Generally, the topic is open to advanced students in a major area. The student may repeat the course for credit when topics are changed.
Each department may offer such a course whether or not it is so listed in the respective department’s course listing. Credit earned may be from one to three hours for each course.
410-420-430 and 510-520-530 Independent Study
Intensive, individual study and research are available to qualified students with a special interest in doing advanced work in specific areas. The student devises the study proposal in consultation with the faculty supervisor and obtains the approval of the department in which the study will be performed. The student works independently until the presentation of the final results.
Independent study is open only to juniors and seniors who have performed exceptionally well academically with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. Credit earned may be from one to three hours for each course, with a maximum of six hours in a term. Each department may provide additional policies regarding independent study.

Internships offer part-time or full-time experience closely related to the student’s specific career and academic interests. Arranged on an individual basis, the internship agreement identifies the problems to be researched, experience to be gained, and related readings to be accomplished. A maximum of 6 credit hours of internship may be applied towards a student’s degree requirements. Students performing internships for credit must be enrolled at TLU during the term (fall, spring or summer) in which the internship is served. Normally, 50 to 75 hours of internship equal one semester hour of credit.
531, 532, 533, 534, 574 Athletic Training Clinical Practice Courses
Intensive clinical experience courses are a required component of the Master of Athletic Training program. Students will be assigned to a clinical preceptor and gain experience in various patient care situations with increasing amounts of supervised autonomy. Individual clinical experiences are made based on student progression in the program and require demonstration of specific athletic training knowledge, skills, and abilities to be retained in the graduate program. Students will complete a minimum of 270 clinical experience hours within long semesters and 120 within summer semesters to receive 3 hours of credit.
