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. Department enforced prereq., ATOC 5050 and ATOC 5060. Requisites: 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. Department enforced prereq., one year of biochemistry courses. Department consent required. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
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. May be repeated up to 7 total credit hours. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Presents cardinal and ordinal arithmetic, and basic combinatorial concepts, including stationary sets, generalization of Ramsey's theorem, and ultrafilters, consisting of the axiom of choice and the generalized continuum hypothesis. Department enforced prereqs., MATH 4000 or 5000, and MATH 4730 or 5730. Instructor consent required for undergraduates. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

An in-depth introduction to formal Demography. In addition to learning the basic demographic tools used nowadays in fertility, marriage, mortality, migration, and forecasting/projections, it also looks at some potential links between formal and statistical demographic work that would enable the student to apply some of the methods learnt in an econometric or multivariate setting. Department enforced prereqs., GEOG 4023 or GEOG 5023. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Focuses on analytical, ideological, cultural, and political tensions between understandings of race and nationalism. Readings are interdisciplinary, but students identify and analyze tensions between race and nationalism at particular historical moments. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Explores various topics, regions, and methods in history and historical writing by utilizing a global/thematic approach. Geared toward graduate students in History, but students from other disciplines with graduate standing may enroll with instructor consent.
