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.

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

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.

Independent work devoted to research on specific problems, to challenge the student to synthesize concepts from his total program and relate them to his allied health specialty. Conference, one to three hours per week. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.

An introduction to cell biology and signaling focused on cell types and architecture, membrane structure, cytoskeleton, mitochondria, cellular mechanisms of development, cell division, cell cycle, apoptosis, necrosis and cancer. Emphasis will also be placed upon the signaling pathways controlling these processes.

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.

IBS 608 emphasizes genomics and bioinformatics approaches that are increasingly important in broad areas of biomedical science. These tools allow us to work with large data sets, analyze the transcriptomes of single cells and whole tissues, visualize data in sophisticated ways, do rigorous experimental design, and perform proper statistical procedures for these types of data. This is a hands-on, experiential course. It includes some lecture material but the emphasis is on computer exercises allowing students to learn tools by using them.
