Because (G)ISPs/AIs and DISPs are credit-bearing courses, they have tuition fees. Additionally, most Brown faculty are unavailable during the summer to supervise independent studies of any kind. However, some exceptions exist, and students interested in learning about them should meet with the CRC Director.
Students participating in a summer internship for credit may consider taking an independent study related to the internship in the fall semester. F-1/J-1 visa holders interested in Curricular Practical Training should meet with an advisor at OISSS or from the College International Advising team. Other students can consult with someone at the Center for Career Exploration to learn more.
