Clinton Community College offers three Individual Studies Programs (A.A., A.A.S., A.S.) offering students the opportunity to customize their degrees in pursuit of specific career or transfer objectives. Admission to Individual Studies is subject to committee approval to ensure that the student’s educational objectives cannot already be met in a pre-existing program and that the curriculum is academically rigorous. To pursue this degree program, a student begins the process by completing a supplemental application form. In consultation with the coordinator, the student will draft a curriculum for their Individual Studies program and then submit the proposal for committee review. Students may enroll in Individual Studies after already enrolling or as a new student, though new students must receive committee approval prior to receiving acceptance from the Admissions Office. Most new students are designated as undeclared or liberal arts majors until the proposal is submitted and reviewed by the committee.
NOTE: Committee approval is not required for students who wish to enroll in established Individual Studies Degree programs; Hotel, Restaurant Management & Tourism, Plattsburgh Aeronautical Institute (PAI),Social Work or Sports Management.
