Professors will be pleased to arrange research courses on subjects of interest
and value to qualified students. These courses will be conducted by means of
assigned reading, a thesis and conferences with the professor and/or an
examination. These regulations and procedures also apply to Institute of
Theological Studies courses offered by Westminster Seminary California.
Directed research courses may be one, two, or three semester units in credit
value. The instructor shall indicate on the Directed Research Agreement the
number of credit units assigned to the particular course in light of the amount
and difficulty of research, writing, and faculty/student consultation required.
Qualification
- Directed Research courses may be pursued only by students who are registered
for regular class work, unless they have previously attained in this institution
a general academic standing of 2.80 or better.
- Generally, directed research courses are taken with full-time faculty in the
Seminary. If a student wishes to pursue a directed research course in an area in
which only an adjunct professor specializes, the petition must be approved by
the Academic Dean.
Petition Procedures
- Arrangements for directed research courses must be made prior to the scheduled
registration date as printed in the academic calendar.
- A form available from the Registrar or from the WSC website must be completed,
signed by the professor and student, and submitted at the time of registration.
- Students taking a directed research elective will have a course number assigned
to the course by the Registrar after completing the paper work.
Course Numbering
The course numbers shall reflect the department of the class such as: OT – Old
Testament, or ST – Systematic Theology.
Completion Deadline
All written research papers and other work must be completed on the last day of
classes of the same term, and any final exam must be completed by the end of the
examination period of the same term. Failure to meet these deadlines will
automatically result in an “F” for the course, unless a further extension is
granted by faculty action prior to the end of that term.
