Introduces students to the fundamental techniques used in metalsmithing, including cold and hot fabrication techniques, forming, and coloring. Through projects, discussions, readings, and demonstrations, students will learn how to create, analyze, understand and critique contemporary metalwork. Projects will focus on design and concept development, while enhancing students' technical and problem-solving skills. Same as ARTS 4154. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Examines art and archaeology from the period following the death of Alexander the Great (late fourth century B.C.E.) to the conquest of Greece by the Romans (middle second century B.C.E.). Same as CLAS 5159. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Explores current thinking about the diets, environments and lives of early human ancestors and their close kin. There is a strong emphasis on the methods used to construct such knowledge. Same as ANTH 4160. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Covers the basic physic of lasers. Topics include basics of optical resonators and gaussian beam propagation, stimulated emission, laser threshold conditions, laser linewidth, q-switching and mode locking of lasers, tuning of Cw lasers, and specifics of various common lasers. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Optical spectrochemical analysis, atmospheric transmittance, including atomic and molecular spectroscopy, line-by-line spectral databases such as HITRAN, absorption, emission, fluorescence, scattering processes of gases, surface enhancements, aerosols, optical spectroscopic instrument components, and techniques, and their applications to atmospheric, and environmental problems. Department enforced prereq., undergraduate physical chemistry or instructor consent. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
The human section reads and discusses contemporary research philosophies and methodologies in human geography. Practices the development of research proposals and presentation of research ideas and results. The physical section reads and discusses contemporary research philosophies and methodologies in physical geography (climatology, geomorphology, biogeography, and soils geography). Practices the development of research proposals and presentation of research ideas. Requisites: Restricted to Geography (GEOG) graduate students only.
Introduces graduate level study of ethnic American and/or postcolonial writing in English, including relevant theoretical discourse. Emphasizes a wide range of genres, forms, historical background, and secondary criticism. Cultivates research skills necessary for advanced graduate study. Topics will vary. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours. Requisites: Restricted to English (ENGL) and English Lit- Creative Writing (CRWR) graduate students only.
Explores the relationship between religion and politics. Examining traditions such as Judaism and Christianity, this course considers diverse ways in which ancient, medieval and modern sources have imagined the role of religion in civic life. Some topics include the status of religious minorities, the nature of religious freedom and contemporary debates surrounding issues such as torture, sexuality and climate change. Same as RLST 4170 and JWST 4170.
Lect. Establishes a background for understanding electrochemical systems through a review of the relevant thermodynamic, kinetic, and electronic principles. Compares classical and modern electrochemical methods of analysis. Several special topics are discussed in depth. Department enforced prereq., undergraduate physical chemistry or instructor consent. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Explores in detail the buildings, sculptures, pots, foreign imports, and society of Athens, considering material culture of individuals as much as civic programs. Emphasis is on ways the textual and archaeological evidence complement and/or contradict one another. The course focuses on the Periklean period, considering ways in which it developed from earlier times and influenced later ones in Athens. Same as CLAS 5179.

Mass spectrometry, including instrumentation, ionization techniques, and interpretation of mass spectra. Theory and practice of analytical separation processes including ion mobility, capillary electrophoresis, and liquid gas chromatography. Introduction to applications in e.g. atmospheric and biological mass spectrometry. Introduction to computer simulation of instrumentation and physical processes. Department enforced prereq., undergraduate physical chemistry or instructor consent. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
A required first-year seminar that introduces the logics of qualitative inquiry in sociology. Introduces the history of qualitative epistemology. Considers the logic of common qualitative methodologies and qualitative research representations. Engages with the logics of inquiry in classic and more recent well regarded qualitative sociological works. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Explores in detail the architecture, sculptures, coins, frescos, and other material evidence alongside the political and social history of Augustan Rome. Emphasis is on ways in which the textual and archaeological evidence complement and/or contradict one another. Will explore the impact of the early imperial period on later Roman phases of urban design and image making in the capital city. Same as CLAS 5189. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
