Course will focus on selected topics drawn from various areas of International Studies taught by faculty members with special interests and competence. The course is variable credit and may be repeated up to a maximum of 12 credits under different subtitles.
An individual community-based or field-based experience and/or internship with a corporation or government institution with a global/international focus under the supervision of a faculty member. This course is designed for undergraduates to gain first-hand experience of preprofessional positions such as internships, cooperative education, or business related experience in an area of international expertise. INT 399 may count toward either the Thematic Concentration or World Area of IS major, but not both. May count for IS minor.
In this capstone seminar students have to write a 20-25 page research paper. Each seminar has a subtitle of a broad theme to allow students working in different world areas and thematic concentrations to work on their projects. The class works both as a seminar where students learn different theoretical and methodological approaches to a broad topic and as a space where they learn to write their own research paper. Students will be required to present their paper in a power point presentation or another type of creative project.
A one-credit companion course to IPS 625 specific for graduate students in the Integrated Plant and Soil Sciences program. This course eposes IPSS students to critical skills in publication, grantsmanship, and public presentation. It requires IPSS students to systematically evaluate research presentations from multiple disciplines, present a synthesis of the research topic addressed in IPS 625, and interact with other members of the college and the university on topics related to plant and soil science issues. The course may be repeated twice.
A two-credit course specific to students in the Integrated Plant and Soil Sciences Program. This course is designed to explore the foundation, principles, and philosophies of scientific research in a truly integrative manner with strong emphasis on the value of multidisciplinary approaches to a significant issue in plant and soil sciences. The course may be repeated twice.
PhD level research and independent study in Integrated Plant and Soil Sciences. May be repeated to a total of 18 credit hours. Work may be conducted in any of the disciplinary areas in IPSS subject to the approval of the PhD committee chair and Program Graduate Committee.
