This course provides a student or group of students an opportunity to pursue in-depth study in an area of fire science under the guidance of a faculty member. The content may include issues of current relevance not covered in other coursework, or issues not covered in detail in other fire science courses. Students must obtain the consent of a faculty member who will serve as their advisor. Consulting with this sponsoring faculty member, students must prepare a prospectus explaining the area of interest, how the area will be studied, when the study will be completed, and the procedure for evaluating the results of the study. The sponsoring faculty member will determine the credit hours for the experience and assign the final grade. Students may accrue a maximum of four credit hours by enrolling in this course multiple times, each with a different guided studies activity. Before registering for this course, students must obtain approval from the Guided Studies Committee and the Fire Science program director for each proposal.
