Travel/Study Abroad:

Independent Study

California State University, Long Beach

Educators (teachers, school psychologists, counselors, administrators, etc.) or college students now have the opportunity to earn academic credit for their travel experiences.

Participants are expected to pre-plan the program with a BRIEF proposal, including:

1. A paragraph describing the proposed study, including the intended goals and the number of units;
2. An itinerary related to the study topic(s);
3. A documentation strategy (e.g., journal writing, audio chronicling, video taping, photography, interviewing, or collected evidence, such as folkart);
4. Evidence demonstrating the achievement of the proposed goals (e.g., final report, audio-visual presentation, curriculum development protocol, or a plan for a creative/performing arts program); and
5. Suggested basis for determining the final grade.

No formal admission to CSULB is required to enroll for summer session courses.
