Do you have a talent, skill, or interest that you’d like to share with others? Are you interested in community research or program development?

Independent Study courses are a great way to stay involved in the Detroit Initiative, while developing your skills and sharing these skills or interests with community organizations. Students may design their independent study according to their interests, or work with one of our Community Partners to design an independent study that benefits an individual community organization.  Independent Study courses also provide opportunities for students to develop and apply their research skills. Students may work with UM-DI faculty or staff, or a community partner, to develop a research project that is both interesting and benefits the community.
