Independent Study

Many second-year students use Tuck's independent study option to customize their educational experience, another benefit of our small scale and curricular flexibility.

Independent study projects are grounded in the established fields of management but cover a remarkable range of topics. Each study must be approved and supervised by two faculty members and graded at its conclusion.
