are known for their excellent social services and high degree

state; economic and gender equality, education, housing, health
care, and the challenges facing Scandinavia today. Requirements:

349. Independent Study. Permission of instructor. (2-4). (Excl).
(INDEPENDENT). May be repeated for credit.
This course serves the
needs of students who wish to develop special topics not offered
in the Scandinavian Studies curriculum. It may be a program of
directed readings with reports, or it may be a research project
and long paper. Either must be supervised by a faculty member, and the student must have the faculty member's agreement before
electing the course. This course is also used by concentrators
for developing preliminary research and a prospectus for the senior thesis.
