supervision of a consenting graduate faculty member. Students who request to
take the course should provide a written statement of the content of the course
and a tentative reading list. A literature review, project report, or other
written product is normally required. This course is
offered only in areas of importance but insufficient demand to justify a
regular course. May be repeated for credit with instructor permission.
