Surveys classical mathematical physics, starting with complex variable theory and finite dimensional vector spaces. Discusses topics in ordinary and partial differential equations, the special functions, boundary value problems, potential theory, and Fourier analysis. Prereq., MATH 5030. Undergraduates must have approval of the instructor. Same as PHYS 5040.

Selected readings in classical and medieval authors, in the original language. The focus is on achieving fluency in reading philosophical Latin. May be repeated up to 7 total credit hours.

Continuation of PHYS 5030. Includes group theory, special functions, integral transforms, integral equations, and calculus of variations. Prereq., PHYS 5030. Same as MATH 5040.

Same as CLAS 4041. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Covers theory of organizations and how it applies to museums, application of small business management and nonprofit organizations to museums, marketing and development, and grant writing and funding strategies. Prereq., graduate standing or instructor consent.

Prepares students for advanced Film Studies critical studies courses. Subject matter varies each semester. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours, provided the topics are different. Same as FILM 4043. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Author or topic specified in Latin specified in the online Schedule Planner (e.g., Roman elegy, Neronian poetry, Lucretius, Roman satire). May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours for different topics. Same as LATN 4044. Formerly CLAS 5044. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
This courses traces the development of Anthropology and museums in America from late 19th century to present day. Students are encouraged to: explore museum theory and practice; think critically about the history of relations among Native Americans, Anthropology, and museums; consider the legacy of collecting and challenges of representing others; and, examine the interplay of Anthropology, material culture, and colonialism. ANTH 4045, ANTH 5045, and MUSM 5045 are the same course. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Addresses the origin and evolution of American Hip-Hop dance rooted in a theoretical structure that springs from the elemental nature of the African Diaspora. Emphasis placed on the social, political, and economic environment in which it was fashioned. Pioneers, innovators, terminology, and styles will be identified. Course includes lectures, readings, audio/video analysis and discussion. Meets with DNCE 4047.

Develops choreography and ensemble performances for undergraduates enrolled in THTR 4029. This course workshops the practices of community engagement. Within this context, each choreographer may develop work that reflects his or her creative passions and research interests, with due consideration of the demographics of outreach audiences. Prerequisites: Restricted to Dance (DNCE) graduate students only.
Same as THTR 4049. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

The first part of a two-semester sequence designed to introduce graduate students in the social sciences to interdisciplinary theory, concepts, and methods as applied to important social problems. Prereq., completion of first year of graduate work in a social science department.

Covers atmospheric motion and its underlying mathematical and physical principles. Explores the dynamics of the atmosphere and the mathematical laws governing atmospheric motion. Topics include atmospheric composition and thermodynamics, conservation laws, geostrophic balance, vorticity dynamics, boundary layers, and baroclinic instability. Prereq., one year of college chemistry and calculus-based physics and math up through differential equations. ATOC graduate core course. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Examines the public policy process, including the influences and actors that shape policy outcomes. Focuses on the major theories, frameworks, and models of policy change, along with emerging scholarship that challenges, refines, and advances the theory. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Surveys past achievements and current research concerns of Japanese sociolinguists in areas such as speech varieties, language behavior and attitude, and linguistic contact and change, as well as their guiding theories and central fieldwork methods. Restricted to graduate students.

Special topics and methods course in composition theory, research, and pedagogy. Topics vary by semester. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours. Prereq., instructor consent. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Provides fundamental knowledge of the basic dynamics and chemical composition of the ocean. Prereq., one year of college chemistry and calculus-based physics and math up through differential equations. ATOC graduate core course. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Serves as an introduction to the "Frankfurt School" and Critical Theory with particular emphasis upon rationality, social psychology, cultural criticism, and aesthetics. Through close readings of key texts by members of the school (Horkheimer, Benjamin, Adorno, Habermas) we will work toward a critical understanding of the analytical tools they developed and consider their validity. Taught in English. GRMN 4051, 5051 and COML 5051 are the same course.
