What are tutorial courses?

A tutorial course (such as ANTH 5900, ANTH 6900, SOCI 5900, SOCI 6900) is an in-depth investigation of selected problems in Sociology by means of directed study supervised by one of our faculty members.  An application must be submitted by the first day of the term before registration access/departmental approval will be granted. The department normally grants one 0.5 credit tutorial within a degree.

The application can be found on the Forms section of our website. Completed application forms should be submitted to the Graduate Administrator for approval by September 1st for fall term, January 2nd for winter term, and May 1st for summer term.

Tutorials must be approved and students register before registration closes for the selected term. The final grades are due at the end of the examination period for the term of registration.
