While CITYterm does offer a wide range of math, science and language courses outside of the Urban Core curriculum, some students choose to pursue an independent study outside of CITYterm's course offerings. Recent independent studies have included Mandarin, Hebrew, German, Latin, AP US History and Engineering.

If you would like one of your two non-core courses to be an independent study, the CITYterm academic dean can arrange a tutor to support you. Students receive ungraded credit for these classes.
