Designated Emphasis Requirements The Designated Emphasis is a 12-unit interdis- ciplinary graduate course of study, requiring coursework across at least two departments. Two of the three required courses, if otherwise eligible, may count towards the student’s Ph.D. requirements.
- 1. All students must complete a ENGL 297
graduate course (4 units) with an affiliated faculty member that produces an ap- proximately 25-page research paper. This course will fulfill the research requirement of the Designated Emphasis.
- 2. Two (2) courses (8 units) selected from
ANTH 262, CPLT 272, CPLT 273, CPLT 275, CPLT 276, CWPA 255, ENGL 246, ENGL 247, ENGL 248, ETST 243F, HIST 287A, MUS 251, MUS 264, and PHIL 237. Students may ask to count another course with relevant content as approved by the Designated Emphasis Director. Students must select courses from at least two different de- partments or programs, one of which may be their home department. Undergradu- ate courses taken to fulfill these require- ments must be accompanied by a 292 course with extra work mutually agreed upon by professor and student. All requirements for the Designated Emphasis must be satisfied before a student advances to candidacy in their Ph.D. field; a minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for the award of the Desig- nated Emphasis.
