For appropriately qualified students wishing to enrich their programs by undertaking literature reviews, special studies, or small group instruction in topics not covered in formal courses.
This is the third and final full-time clinical education experience. Students in good academic standing who have satisfactorily completed all prerequisite professional courses for a total of 18 weeks of full-time clinical education. Students may be placed in 1 or 2 different clinical practice areas depending on interests related to projected practice postgraduation. This final clinical education experience provides students with an opportunity to further develop skills used in the First Clinical Education Experience and the Intermediate Clinical Education Experience as well as practice new skills in conjunction with the advanced seminar course and electives taken in preparation for entry-level practice. Students are required to give an in-service or case study presentation in partial fulfillment of the requirements of this experience.
Departmental colloquium in statistics.
Presentation of doctoral student research and guest speakers.
In the spring semester, new groups are formed to undertake analytic projects for real-world clients in government and nonprofit agencies. These teams, working under the supervision of faculty members, write a report analyzing an actual environmental policy or management problem faced by their clients. Again, projects selected will be relevant to the cohorts two earth systems problem themes.

Interdisciplinary research is an approach to advancing scientific knowledge in which researchers from different disciplines work at the borders of those disciplines in order to address complex questions and problems. Successful interdisciplinary efforts require mastery of specific competencies. This seminar will introduce students to competencies in interdisciplinary research through a combination of readings, case studies, and lectures in each necessary aspect, chosen from fields essential to successful interdisciplinary research. It is intended to assist learners to understand why and how different professional disciplines must work together to generate and disseminate knowledge. We will examine: different conceptualizations of interdisciplinary; barriers to and facilitators of interdisciplinary research; approaches, benefits, and limitations of collaboration and team science; methods for measuring interdisciplinary collaboration; the intersection of translational and interdisciplinary scientific strategies; and individual researchers' experiences with and evaluations of their own interdisciplinary scientific projects. Learners will develop a set of skills to be effective members and leaders of interdisciplinary research teams.
This J-Term seminar will use case studies and discussion to explore the legal, practical
and emotional challenges involved in harnessing creativity to commercial ends.
It will include lessons in how to ignore the best legal advice money can buy, how to speak
truth to power, how to understand leverage in all its hidden guises, how to know when to
double down and when to give up, and how the best lawyers are all one handed (“on the
one hand…but on the other hand”). Class discussion and exercises will be used to illustrate
how lawyers are called upon to help reconcile conflicting imperatives—which sometimes result in
the opposite of what was originally negotiated. Most case studies focus on the film industry, but
the class discussion will also apply these lessons to other areas, including sports, other
entertainment sectors, and the innovation economy. There will be several attorneys currently
practicing at the highest levels of the entertainment and sports bars who will make guest
appearances to share their experiences.
Evaluation will be based on the student having completed the reading and viewing
requirements and participating in class discussions. This includes playing an active role in
classroom exercises, during which we will work through real-world scenarios based on
the assigned readings and films to illustrate dilemmas and practice types of advice.
Research work culminating in a creditable dissertation on a problem of a fundamental nature selected in conference between student and adviser. Wide latitude is permitted in choice of a subject, but independent work of distinctly graduate character is required in its handling.
All graduate students are required to attend the departmental colloquium as long as they are in residence. Advanced doctoral students may be excused after three years of residence. No degree credit is granted.
This course is intended to provide a strong foundation in the concepts of genetics and clinical applicability of genomic concepts commonly seen in advance practice nurses’ clinical practice. Both classical Mendelian and molecular genetics will be examined, in order to provide a knowledge base that will enable the advanced practice nurse to integrate genetic and genomic knowledge into clinical practice. Using a case discussion approach, clinical issues of genetics testing, genetic exceptionalism, individualized risk assessments and predictions are explored throughout their life span.
