    Provides an in-depth understanding and first-hand knowledge of different racial, ethnic and religious communities, which is necessary to develop and refine multicultural clinical competence. Incorporates scholarly readings and experiential learning in multicultural settings and fosters participants' qualitative research skills. Prerequisites: Restricted to Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) or Audiology (AUDD) graduate students only.

    Principles of geophysical inverse theory as applied to problems in the Earth sciences, including topography, Earth structure, and earthquake locations. Prereqs., calculus and computer programming (any language). Same as PHYS 6670.

    Focuses on the scientific process including formulating and testing hypotheses in studies of locomotion.

Prereq., SLHS 6544. Recommended prereqs., SLHS 7814 and 7540. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
    This introduction to Matlab programming will teach the skills needed to write and modify programs for data acquisition and analysis, statistics, plotting, and simulation. Prerequisites: Restricted to Integrative Physiology (IPHY) graduate students only.
    Explores the techniques used to make short-term weather forecasts in the mid-latitudes using real-time weather observations, numerical forecast model output, and conceptual models of mid-latitude weather phenomena. Students will be required to develop and defend conceptual models of the short-term evolution of the weather and will conduct detailed post-forecast analysis of successful and unsuccessful forecasts. May be repeated up to 3 total credit hours. Prereq., ATOC 5050 or equivalent. Recommended prereq., ATOC 5060. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

    Detailed study of current literature relative to one main topic is undertaken each semester. Topics covered on a rotating basis include enzyme kinetics and mechanisms; lipids and lipoproteins; chemistry and enzymology of nucleic acids; biochemistry of nucleic acids in eukaryotic cells; and protein chemistry. Presentations include faculty lectures and student reports. May be repeated up to 12 total credit hours. Prereqs., one year of biochemistry courses, graduate standing, and instructor consent.

    Considers in detail history and methodology of the field, including an analysis of selected systematic topics such as frontiers and boundaries, international rivers, conflicting claims to territory, and electoral geography. Restricted to graduate students. May be repeated up to 7 total credit hours.
