Directed Studies Program (DIST) (231) 591-3564 The Directed Studies Program is designed for students who do not meet the admission requirements of other Ferris State University programs to which they originally applied. All Directed Studies students, with the assistance of an academic advisor, are expected to develop an individualized program of study to reach eligible academic status. Completion of courses linked to Structured Learning Assistance (SLA) workshops, foundation courses and General Education courses enable students to select a program leading to an associate or bachelor degree. Additional information on the Directed Studies Program is available from the Developmental Programs and Curriculum department.
