The certificate in applied developmentalpsychology allows graduate students whomajor or minor in child psychology to studyand experience applications of developmentalscience issues, policies, and problemsconcerning children and child development atthe local, state, and national level. Throughthe combination of theory and fieldexperience, students learn how to help solvepressing real-life problems and to improvethe lives of children. The 21-credit programexplores such topics as ethical issues inapplied developmental psychology, mediaand children’s programming, nutrition andhunger, accidents and safety issues, childrenin the judicial system, the design and role ofchildren’s museums, and the development ofchildren’s toys, games, and recreationalactivities. Professionals in this field need todevelop an in-depth understanding of howpublic policy affects children’s lives, how tomake pure research comprehensible andpractical without losing its complexity, andhow to work in interdisciplinary teams.Admission—Admission is open to graduatestudents enrolled in a doctoral program at theUniversity. Students in child psychologymust consult with the training director(s) andcomplete a department application formbefore officially registering for the firstseminar. Students not in child psychologymust have successfully completed a four-yearundergraduate degree with a minimum 3.00GPA and equivalent of 12 quarter or9 semester course credits in psychology, andone statistics course. Admission is basedprimarily on the applicant’s academic record,GRE scores, and research experience.Curriculum—CPsy 8360 (2 cr, section 7)gives an overview of applied developmentalscience problems and provides a frameworkfor the second two components of theprogram. CPsy 8301 (4 cr) and 8302 (4 cr)are the core courses in developmentalpsychology covering biological, cognitive,and social aspects of development. They arefundamental to understanding thedevelopmental perspective. CPsy 8996 (5 cr)integrates and applies information learned incoursework. The course is individuallydesigned based on each student’s priorexperience and interests. Students focus onpractical and/or public policy applications ofdevelopmental research in settings such as

the Search Institute, the MinnesotaChildren’s Museum, the guardian ad litemprogram in the local courts, the Center for4-H Youth Development, and the NationalInstitute on Media and the Family. The fieldexperience may be taken in one to threesemesters or a summer session, but must beat least 5 credits and total 188 hours. A majorpaper describing the field experience andintegrating relevant basic research literaturewith practical availability taking place in thefield setting is expected.

Along with the program-specificrequirements listed below, please read theGeneral Information section of this catalogfor Graduate School requirements that applyto all major fields.Curriculum—Architecture encompasses themaking and study of the buildings andenvironment that we inhabit. The concerns ofarchitecture involve a wide variety of areas ofstudy, including the art of representing builtprojects through drawings and computergraphics; the technology of buildingstructure, building materials, and natural andmechanical systems; the history, theory, andart of making, using, and understandingbuildings as cultural artifacts for human use;and the practice of architecture in the contextof urban form and business economics.The M.Arch. program introduces students tothe practice and discipline of architecture as aspeculative, analytic, and investigativeendeavor. It prepares students to enterarchitecture as both a profession and a fieldof knowledge. The program is organizedaround the design studio, incorporatingcoursework in the diverse areas ofarchitectural knowledge: representation,technology, history, theory, urban design, andarchitectural practice.

The professional M.Arch. degree program isfor those who have an undergraduate degreewith a major or concentration in architectureand seek to become licensed architects.Because the admitted student will alreadyhave a broad educational background andwill have completed fundamental courses, theprogram focus is on professional anddisciplinary coursework, including requiredand elective lecture, seminar, and designstudio courses.In the United States, most state registrationboards require a degree from an accreditedprofessional degree program as a prerequisitefor licensure. The National ArchitecturalAccrediting Board (NAAB), which is thesole agency authorized to accredit U.S.professional degree programs in architecture,recognizes two types of degrees: the bachelorof architecture and the master of architecture.A program may be granted a five-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation,depending on its degree of conformance withestablished educational standards.Master’s degree programs may consist of apre-professional undergraduate degree and aprofessional graduate degree, which, whenearned sequentially, comprise an accreditedprofessional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself,recognized as an accredited degree.Prerequisites for Admission—Track Aapplicants to the M.Arch. program must holda baccalaureate degree and must havecompleted the equivalent of at least a year ofpreparatory work, including coursework incalculus, physics, architectural history,drawing, and architectural design. Track Acandidates can expect to complete theM.Arch. program in six semesters (threeyears), including the thesis.Students are expected to have basic computerskills before beginning the program,including familiarity either with Macintoshor Windows operating systems, wordprocessing, basic drawing or paintingprograms, and use of e-mail. Intermediateclasses in computer methods in architecture(Arch 5371, 5372, 5373) are part of degreerequirements during the first year; advancedclasses (Arch 5374, 5375) are requiredduring the second year. Typically, studentswho complete their B.A. or B.S. inarchitecture, as well as students who haveundergraduate degrees in other disciplines,apply to the master’s program as Track Acandidates.Track B applicants who have completed atleast two years of architectural design studiosplus structures and materials courses thatwould be the equivalent of the first year ofthis graduate program, and who have anonprofessional bachelor’s degree inarchitecture, would receive advancedplacement in the program sequence.Depending on academic record, previouscoursework, and portfolio review, Track Bstudents can complete the M.Arch. degree inas little as two years. Upon acceptance, Track



35


B applicants will have coursework reviewedby the director of graduate studies todetermine their specific course requirements.Track C applicants, those who hold abachelor of architecture professional degree(B.Arch.) or a first professional master ofarchitecture (M.Arch.) degree, are admittedto pursue the master of architecture. Thesestudents, in conjunction with the director ofgraduate studies, plan a curriculum aroundtheir special interests. Students with a priorprofessional degree take a minimum of 30credits in an individually developed programrequiring a minimum of three semesters andculminating in a thesis project that reflectstheir course of study in their chosenspecialty.For more complete information, please seethe College of Architecture and LandscapeArchitecture Bulletin and contact theDepartment of Architecture.Special Application Requirements—Admission to the M.Arch. program is highlycompetitive. In addition to meeting GraduateSchool application requirements, studentsapplying to the program must demonstratedesign talent in a portfolio and must submitall of the following: a one-page statement ofinterest, transcripts of all coursework, threefaculty recommendations, a recent paperwritten in English, and GRE scores. Theportfolio should be a notebook no larger than8.5" x 11" (other portfolio formats will berejected). International students must submitscores from the TOEFL or the MELAB.Courses—Please refer to Architecture (Arch)in the course section of this catalog forcourses pertaining to the program.Use of 4xxx Courses—4xxx courses cannotbe included on degree program forms withoutthe permission of the adviser and director ofgraduate studies.

As such,physiology is a “hybrid” field in whichexpertise from many other disciplines isordinarily required and combined.The program emphasizes a quantitativeapproach to understanding the functions ofcells, organs, and systems in living animals.Ph.D. students take a core concentration thatprovides a broad background in thephysiology of membranes, cells, transport,and organ systems. Individualized programsare structured to build on the student’sstrengths and to fill in gaps that wouldotherwise be an impediment to specificproblem solving. Teaching experience is alsoavailable to all students.Areas of specialization includecardiovascular, respiratory, membrane andtransport processes, cell physiology, and to alimited extent, exercise and gastrointestinalphysiology, and endocrinology.Students enter the M.S. program from one oftwo sites. On the Duluth campus, studentscan enroll in coursework and participate inresearch in several basic areas. Students maypursue studies in muscle, cardiovascular,respiratory, and endocrine physiology, aswell as in membrane transport, temperatureregulation, and everal areas of neuroscience.

Along with the program-specificrequirements listed below, please read theGeneral Information section of this catalogfor Graduate School requirements that applyto all major fields.Curriculum—While most traditionalhumanistic disciplines tend to focus either ona given mode of discourse (e.g., art history,musicology) or a specific cultural context(e.g., American studies, European languagesand literatures), this program engages abroader problematic—how discourse andcultural production both shape and areshaped by life in time, space, matter, andsociety. Drawing on a variety of theoreticalpositions, close attention is paid to varioustypes of discourse, such as music, film, myth,ritual, architecture, landscape and urbandesign, painting, sculpture, and literature inelite, popular, folk, and mass culture,understanding these as both a site and aninstrument of contestation and negotiationamong social forces. More generally, theprogram seeks to reassociate intellectual andcultural history with social and politicalhistory, to set discourse of various sortswithin a social context, and to considerspecific social formations within the ongoinghistorical process. In all this, the programencourages work that is interdisciplinary (attimes, even anti-disciplinary) as well ascross-cultural.The curriculum emphasizes small seminarsand directed research. The core requirementis a two-semester research seminar, apracticum that develops critical and analyticskills and introduces current theoreticalperspectives with the study of historicproblems. The majority of courses arenonrecurring and closely relate to currentfaculty research.
