Internship providing practical experience in historic preservation. Internships qualifying for academic credit may be undertaken with a government agency, a non-profit organization, or a private-sector firm, depending on the student's interests and professional goals. Internships may take place domestically or abroad. Internships require the approval of the Department Chair, who will develop a plan of study in collaboration with the student and host organization. May be repeated for a maximum of six credits.

An elective seminar in which case studies of significant local, regional, national and international preservation projects will be presented, analyzed and evaluated. Site visits, lectures by preservationists, architects, developers, and agency officials. Case studies will vary each semester, focusing upon preservation projects of current interest, including individual structures, rural and urban preservation, and community preservation planning. Interaction with groups, analysis projects, student presentations.

Half-time to full-time work on master's project. May be repeated for a maximum of six semesters.

Seminar for the investigation of selected topics in historic preservation. The course requires a subtitle each time it is offered. May be repeated for a maximum of six credits. Prereq: Consent of instructor.

Independent investigation of selected topics in historic preservation under the supervision of a faculty member with proficiency in the investigation area. May be repeated for a maximum of six credits. Prereq: Nine credit hours of graduate study, written consent of instructor, and contractual agreement approved by Department Chair.

This course will provide students with the basic tools need for an in- depth investigation of a preservation design project, policy issue, or scholarly question. This course, which must be taken prior to enrollment in HP 799, assists students in designing their Master's Project and results in a Master's Project proposal and selection of a Master's Project Committee.

Students work independently, but under the direction of a committee chair and Master's Project committee suggested by the student and chosen in consultation with the department chair or DGS to complete the Master's Project proposed in HP 798. Must be repeated to a maximum of six hours. Prereq: HP 798.

In introductory graduate-level course focused on molecular biology and genetics (concepts and techniques) necessary for advanced graduate courses. The course will emphasize basic genetic principles and the molecular mechanisms that underlie the regulated expression of genes, including transcription, mRNA processing and translation, as well as mechanisms of DNA replication/repair and recombination. Genetic engineering and other experimental approaches that are critical to molecular biology research will be covered.

This course will consider the function of the mammalian organism from a perspective ranging from cells to organs, with an emphasis on physiological communication between organ systems. It will build upon the Integrated Biomedical Sciences (IBS) series of courses to allow the student to develop a truly integrative appreciation of biologic function.

Weekly seminar devoted to the presentation and discussion of classic and new research. May be repeated to a maximum of four times; two semesters are required as part of the IBS curriculum.
