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. Requisites: Restricted to Dance (DNCE) 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. Department enforced prereq., one year of college chemistry and calculus-based physics and math up through differential equations. ATOC graduate core course. Requisites: 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. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Incorporating critical perspectives of sociolinguistics into analyses of Japanese literature and Japanese language education. Same as JPNS 4050. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Special topics and methods course in composition theory, research, and pedagogy. Topics vary by semester. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Provides fundamental knowledge of the basic dynamics and chemical composition of the ocean. Department enforeced prereq., one year of college chemistry and calculus-based physics and math up through differential equations. ATOC graduate core course. Requisites: 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. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Deals specifically with curation and data management.Topics include acquisition practices and problems; organization, management, use and preventive conservation of collections; and computer data management of collections.
Detailed study of a particular topic in theatre history (e.g., an era, a style, a country, or an organization). Topic specified in the online Schedule Planner. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours on different topics.
Provides the opportunity for choreographic and performative synthesis and experimentation via the execution of a project related to the student's major area of creative research. Project must be approved by the student's first reader. Requisites: Restricted to Dance (DNCE) graduate students only.
Examines practical, pedagogical, philosophical, and legal issues in current dance education. The goals and content of professional and recreational dance training are considered and strategies for effective teaching practice are discussed. Provides practice in practical application of theoretical material. All genres of dance may be utilized. Requisites: Restricted to Dance (DNCE) graduate students only.
