Undergraduates must have approval of the instructor. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Offers a weekly seminar for museum and field study students that addresses one new topic each semester relevant to museum operations such as archival administration, museums, multiculturalism, repatriation, and others. Prereqs., MUSM 5011, graduate standing, and instructor consent. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Lect. Subjects of current interest in analytical chemistry. Used for graduate-level presentations of special topics by visiting and resident faculty. Variable class schedule. May be repeated up to 7 total credit hours. Prereq., graduate standing or instructor consent.

Introduces students to mainstream multivariate regression techniques used in the social sciences. The majority of the course focuses on the Ordinary Least Square model and on the extension of this model to nominal, ordinal, and count dependent variables.

Prereq., graduate standing.

Prereq., undergraduate work in American history.

May be repeated up to 7 total credit hours. Prereq., graduate standing.

Same as EBIO 6100.

Training in the systematic observation of people in situations, finding them where they are, staying with them in a role acceptable to them that allows intimate observations of behavior. Students report their findings in ways useful to social science but not harmful to those observed. Formerly SOCY 5121. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Studies group theory and ring theory. Prereq., MATH 3140. Undergraduates need instructor consent. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Discusses current topics and/or trends in the museum profession. Topics change annually to reflect current topics and trends and the most current museum issues. Prereq., graduate standing and instructor consent. Recommended prereq., MUSM 5011 and 5051.

Explores the history of politics in the U.S., with an emphasis on the period since 1865. Key themes include the relations between state and society, the origins and nature of social movements, and the role played by political culture. Prereq., graduate standing.

Investigates key problems facing museum institutions and studies the staging and representation of historical knowledge, the ethics of collecting and display, the changing nature and uses of historical evidence, and relations between curatorial practice, collecting, and field work.
