Presentation of doctoral student research and guest speakers.
This course will serve to provide an opportunity for Students who are Directing Concentrates to develop their thesis projects within a structured environment. The course may be taught in every week or alternating week formats. Students will be encouraged to submit ideas, treatments, scripts, rough cuts and fine cuts of their thesis films. The class is collaborative and serves as a base from which Directors can try out concepts and ideas, and receive input from fellow students as well as their thesis advisor.
Clinical and laboratory projects or field investigation related to nutrition, particularly in the area of growth and development.

This workshop is the second course in a three-semester sequence that serves as the professional development core of the MPA in Environmental Science and Policy. Building on the foundation established during the summer semester, students continue to refine their management and analytical skills through applied work on simulated public sector sustainability projects.
Students work in teams to design and implement a one-year operational plan for an environmental sustainability program. Each project addresses real-world management and implementation challenges, including budgeting, staffing, political analysis, performance planning, and scheduling. Students are expected to draw on the scientific, economic, and policy tools they have acquired to date, applying them in an integrated and practical context.
The course emphasizes project management, teamwork, and professional communication. Students assume defined leadership roles, develop briefings, and produce a final report that outlines a feasible policy direction and operational strategy. Through simulated client interactions and instructor-led seminars, students gain firsthand experience with the complexities of managing environmental programs in the public and nonprofit sectors.

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.
Overview:
The class will meet once monthly and will focus on the following:
1) Students’ thesis work - class will analyze, advise, give notes on, support, and discuss each person’s work over the year during the development, prep, production, post-production, and marketing periods of work for each thesis project.
2) Exploration of skills necessary to transition to working in the film industry after graduation. Topics include resume workshops, web site creation, film festival strategy, financing strategies, rights clearance, and press kit creation.
3) CU alums and other guest speakers will discuss their transitions from film school to working in the film industry, and will discuss their areas of expertise: TV producing, feature film producing, development, representation, networks and studios, teaching as a career, etc.
Required of doctoral candidates.
