Advanced Departmental Seminar Courses and Electives
Advanced Courses are high level small group courses that investigate the cutting edge of a specific topic. Such a course should be highly intensive and rely on primary literature. The Department currently offers 9 advanced courses every one or two years (see below). Students may substitute courses in other departments for advanced courses, but must petition the GEC prior to signing up for the course. The petition should include the syllabus and schedule for the proposed course. Students may also pursue two other options:
(1) Students may choose to have two (2) directed departmental journal clubs serve to take the place of one 2 credit advanced course. Students must arrange this situation with the instructors and the GEC Chairman ahead of time, and a grade will be given.
(2) Students may petition a faculty member to hold a directed study in a particular topic. The faculty member should consult the Chairman of the GEC for general guidelines. The syllabus should be submitted and approved prior to the course being offered.
