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. Students will analyze data of their choosing with statistical software packages including SPSS, SAS, and STATA. Department prereq., SOCY 5111 or equivalent.
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. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Studies group theory and ring theory. Department enforced prereq., MATH 3140. Instructor consent required for undergraduates. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Studies modules, fields, and Galois theory. Department enforced prereq., MATH 6130. Instructor consent required for undergraduates. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
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. Critically examines different approaches to museums and museology in various disciplines, both past and present. Same as MUSM 6150, HIST 6150, and ARTH 6150. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of MUSM 5011 (minimum grade D-). Restricted to graduate students only.

Department enforced prereqs., MATH 6110 and 6140. Instructor consent required for undergraduates. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Explores feminist methodology across a range of disciplines. Themes include experience and interpretation, the social position of the researcher, language and argument structure, knowledge and power, bias and objectivity, and the ethics and politics of research. Meets the requirements for the WGST certificate. Same as WMST 6190. Requisites: Restricted to Comparative Literature (CMLT) graduate students only.
