The University of Michigan itself is a large and diverse educational
institution, with many intellectual and cultural resources available to
students, faculty, and others in the community. The Program in
American Culture is a relatively small but well established academic
program in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, conceived
and designed partly to allow its students to take advantage of the
University's resources. Its Ph.D. program is designed as a flexible,
rigorous interdisciplinary doctoral program which enables students to
develop knowledge both of the field of American Studies and of
contributing disciplinary fields. The perspective of the Program faculty
and courses is to acknowledge the importance of both attention to
specific populations, periods, disciplines, and to an integrative and
intercultural perspective. The American Culture Program is a channel
for interdisciplinary study and experimentation in the humanities and
social sciences. It draws its faculty primarily from History and English,
both departments with traditional strengths in the American area.
Members of other humanities departments such as History of Art and
Communication Studies have long been associated with the Program.
Students in the Program also work with faculty in some of Michigan's
excellent social science departments, especially Anthropology and
Sociology. The Program encourages students who have well defined
interests in fields such as law, religion, music, business, and social
work to study with faculty from other schools in the University, not
only with faculty from the College.
Since its creation in 1952, the Program in American Culture has
passed through two major phases. Initially, the Program arose from a
desire among students and faculty in the English Department for a
grasp of American experience broader than could be provided in the
study of any one discipline. Its center of interest was defined as the
study of values in America. In respect to method, the Program
aspired to build bridges between the humanities and the social
sciences. In substance, it linked past and present. Its goal was to
foster comprehensive critical understandings of American life and
culture solidly grounded in more than one academic discipline. In the
early 1970s, the Program became newly conscious of the necessity of
augmenting this original orientation by responding to the growing
awareness in our society of the diversity and complexity of cultural
experience in America. Since that time the Program has pledged itself
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/amcult.html (3 of 13) [3/29/2006 1:52:39 PM]
University of Michigan: American Culture
to take a close look at sub-cultures determined by national origin,
race, religion, and social status that exist alongside the dominant
European-based culture in the United States, and to include in the
curriculum the study of the role of women, as well as Asian American,
Black, Latino, Native American, and ethnic minority cultures.
In 1984, the Program in American Culture set up a new curricular
program in Latino Studies to help satisfy the growing national and
local interest in the history and culture of Hispanic peoples in the
United States. The Latino Studies Program at Michigan represents an
effort to understand not only Hispanic culture in the United States but
also the interconnections between the history, culture, and literature
of all the Americas. Latino Studies since its inception has been mainly
an undergraduate program, but it is also designed to contribute
significantly to the American Culture graduate program. With the
growth of Latino Studies, graduate students in American Culture have
sought out faculty in History, Sociology, Anthropology, Romance
Languages, and other departments whose areas of expertise include
the study of Latinos in the U.S. as well as those faculty specializing in
the Latin American area.
The interdisciplinary program in Women's Studies has, since its
establishment in 1973, been closely affiliated with the American
Culture Program. The Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies can be
combined with either a master's or a doctoral degree in any graduate
program at the University of Michigan. The Certificate aims to
provide: an historical perspective on Women's Studies, both across
and within disciplines; analysis of contemporary theoretical
frameworks, methodologies, issues and topics and their relation to
traditional disciplines; and an opportunity to broaden and enrich
analytical skills in one or more disciplines while drawing on the
interdisciplinary perspectives of Women's Studies. This program
emphasizes the links between Women's Studies and traditional
disciplines, illuminating the broader intellectual traditions that shape
contemporary scholarship in the social sciences and humanities.

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1290 (734-7632047).
The Program in American Culture has responded to interests in
popular culture and mass media as well as keeping its traditional
concern with high culture. The first film course at this University was
offered by a former director of the Program in American Culture, and
students in the Program may now enroll in courses in film given in
several departments. The Film and Video Studies Program, closely
associated with the Program in American Culture, now offers a
Graduate Certificate Program as well as undergraduate courses and
research and technical facilities to students with committed interests
in film and other contemporary media. The Graduate Certificate
Program aims at giving students already enrolled or admitted to a
Ph.D. or M.F.A. Program at the University specialized knowledge in
the study of film and related forms of the moving image. The
Certificate is designed to provide students pursuing graduate studies
an opportunity to integrate humanistic inquiry into film with their

primary area of interest and to enhance their versatility as potential
teachers and scholars in a broad range of disciplines and areas of
intellectual investigation. Those students who seek a larger view of
communications networks at the intersection of culture and social
structure will find sympathetic faculty in Communication Studies and
other departments.
Those persons desiring training in archival management as well as
work in American studies may combine their interests through a joint
program. Students interested in problems in the administration of
modern as well as traditional archives and manuscript collections will
find a variety of opportunities for study in this area with specialists in
this emerging field. Located on the campus of the University are six
important archival and manuscript collections which represent the
spectrum of materials which constitute the historical record: the
Clements Library, the Bentley Library, the Rare Book Collection, the
Joseph A. Labadie Collection of Social Protest Literature, the Gerald R.
Ford Library, and the ICPSR Data Archive.
The Certificate in Museum Studies may be awarded in conjunction
with the M.A. or Ph.D. in American Culture through the
interdepartmental graduate program in Museum Studies. Admission
to this program is contingent upon successful application to both the
Museum Certificate Program and to the American Culture Program.
The Museum Studies curriculum, which begins in the summer-half
term, represents an intensification of all aspects of training crucial to
preparation for a museum career. In addition to a series of museum
courses, work experience and an off-campus internship are required.
Internships in museum work in American history and material culture
may be served at the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village (the
Edison Institute). Further information about curriculum and
admissions procedures may be obtained from: Coordinator, Museum
Studies Program, The University of Michigan Museum of Art, Alumni
Memorial Hall, 5519 Haven Hall, 505 South State St., Ann Arbor, MI
48109-1045, (734) 936-6678.
Admission to Graduate Program in American Culture: The
Program offers the Ph.D. degree. Since the Program values its
intellectual diversity, students at the graduate level are admitted
without specific prerequisites. We look for students with a broad
liberal education, who also have the strength of mind and motivation
and the inner discipline essential to a course of study that will be
interdisciplinary and individually designed. Nevertheless, some
undergraduate training in American history and American literature,
together with courses in theory and methods in humanities and/or
social sciences, are strongly recommended. Applications require an
expository writing sample of 15 pages or less, a personal statement
of goals and background that identifies 2-3 faculty members that can
serve as possible mentors in the American Culture Program, three
letters of recommendation, official transcripts, and a curriculum vitae
or resume. Graduate Record Examination scores on the verbal,
quantitative, and analytical tests are required from every applicant for
admission (it is advisable to sign up for the October test date since it
takes six weeks for test results to be mailed). Please specify the
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/amcult.html (5 of 13) [3/29/2006 1:52:39 PM]
University of Michigan: American Culture
appropriate institution codes for the University of Michigan (#1839),
and American Culture Program (#2206) when completing the
informational portion of the exam. Please calculate your
undergraduate and, if applicable, graduate cumulative grade point
average and include these calculations on page two of the application
(see #19 on graduate application). Applications are accepted once a
year: until December 1 for fall term. Approximately six to eight new
graduate students are admitted each year.
Under special circumstances, the Program offers a MA degree for an
applicant admitted to another graduate degree or a specialized
certificate program at the University of Michigan. A minimum of 24
hours is required for this M.A. degree, including two cognate courses
(see Rackham requirement), and American Culture 599, 697 and 698.
The Program is not able to offer any financial assistance to MA
applicants.
1) THE FIRST TWO YEARS
The first two years of the American Culture program provide an
introduction to basic issues, resources and methods of inquiry. This is
in addition to the learning of a fundamental body of factual and
theoretical materials through coursework. Students are encouraged to
develop a program of courses which has both a descriptive and a
theoretical base, a program centered in the needs of the individual
student, and a program which suggests more a point of view about
American studies and a position of curiosity and study rather than
emphasizing any conclusive accomplishments of the kind which would
limit intellectual growth or further study. Given these assumptions, a
student's program tends to be long range in outlook; hence, the M.A.
is de-emphasized by many students in the Program.
Required Courses for First Year: There will be three required
courses offered exclusively for all new students: 1) a seminar in the
fall term on "Approaches to American Culture" (American Culture
697) concentrates on a variety of ways of studying American society
and its culture and provides an introduction to the conceptual
frameworks and intellectual history of American Studies; and 2) a
second course, offered normally in the winter term, is "Methodologies
in American Culture" (American Culture 698) which builds upon the
literature review and historiographical study of the American Studies
field begun in AC 697; and 3) "Research Methods in American
Culture" (American Culture 599). This mini-course, offered in the fall
term with the assistance of the Library Reference staff, will help
students gain access to library and computer resources on campus
addressing basic issues in research methodologies for interdisciplinary
scholarship. The remaining work in the first two years includes
generally: 1) Survey courses in disciplines in which the student has
not previously studied intensively; suggested areas would be
literature, history, history of art and/or architecture, anthropology,
sociology, or philosophy. 2) Advanced courses in any area needed by
the student either to fill in his/her background or to pursue his/her
studies. Elective credits during the first two years may include a
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/amcult.html (6 of 13) [3/29/2006 1:52:39 PM]
University of Michigan: American Culture
limited number of independent reading courses and studentorganized reading groups.
Disciplinary Spine: Reserving a large number of courses for elective
study is essential to the flexibility of the program. Courses outside
American Culture offerings, chosen in consultation with faculty
advisors, should include a disciplinary spine of basic courses in at
least one discipline, as well as a range of courses on specific topics of
interest to the student. However, because of the highly individualized
nature of students' programs, no particular disciplinary courses are
required of any student. Some students may choose to substitute a
second interdisciplinary concentration, in addition to American
Studies, for a disciplinary spine. In some cases, a secondary
disciplinary or interdisciplinary competence may be acquired. Courses
that are part of the disciplinary spine may be taken at any point
before beginning the dissertation and will probably extend into the
period after candidacy.
2) ADVISING
The Graduate Chair will advise first-year students about their course
elections. A general orientation session with the new students,
participating faculty and advanced students will be held as early as
possible. Each entering student is also assigned to an additional
academic mentor, in most cases a faculty member who has
contributed to the decision to admit that student. Students should
meet with the Graduate Chair and their academic mentor each term
to get assessments of their progress and to consult about their
programs of study. After the first semester, and not later than the
beginning of the second year, each student, in consultation with the
Director or Graduate Chair, should seek out an additional faculty
member in the area in which they intend to concentrate to become
part of a mentoring committee. Students should provide each
member of this mentoring team with our guidelines describing the
Program's general requirements and procedures. Students will
therefore have an advising committee at every stage: in the first two
years, a mentoring committee; during the third year and perhaps
longer, a field examination committee; finally, a dissertation
committee. The Director of the Program, however, has ultimate
responsibility for approving all graduate students' programs and
monitoring satisfactory progress (see 3 below).
3) SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
In all cases, satisfactory progress is evidenced by the attainment of at
least a "B" in all required and elective courses for the M.A. and Ph.D.
programs. Students acquiring less than a "B" in their individual
courses may be required to repeat such courses. Satisfactory
progress, however, is not merely a matter of gaining minimal grades;
it is determined also by a judgment upon the student's overall record
and what it implies for passing preliminary examinations, field
examinations, and writing a dissertation.

University of Michigan: American Culture
4) THE PH.D. PROGRAM
Courses: It is expected that each student will do substantial work in
more than one discipline and that the course of study will delineate
appropriate research skills to be acquired and theoretical concerns to
be explored (see also 2 above). Students will take, at some point in
the first two years, at least one American Culture graduate course
focusing on a specific period, region, community, issue (or comparing
several). American Culture 699 can be used to fulfill this requirement,
although other graduate courses also qualify by petition. The courses
which fulfill this requirement must be interdisciplinary, are often teamtaught, and offered in a variety of subject areas, periods, and fields.
This interdisciplinary seminar is designed both to address a particular
topic in some depth and to model interdisciplinary scholarship. A
student will be required to complete an introductory research seminar
in the student's field of interest. The option of satisfying this
requirement in American Culture 699 or 899 is available for those
students who do not have another appropriate seminar that fits their
interests. Students may enroll in an optional dissertation workshop,
American Culture 850, at any point after advancement to candidacy,
although it will ordinarily be taken after the field examinations have
been completed. This course will be designed to support students in
developing a dissertation plan and getting their dissertations under
way. It may be taken as often as students wish and can be used to
workshop dissertation chapters. The class will include basic questions
about research methods, collective critique of work in draft,
discussion of ethics of scholarship and academic life, practical
information about submitting papers for conferences and articles for
publication, and visits from Program faculty from a variety of fields to
discuss professional issues.
Language Requirements: There is no language requirement for the
Ph.D. program. Appropriate language study, however, is strongly
encouraged. For example, it is to the advantage of students
interested in Latin American and Latino culture to know Spanish, or of
students interested in nineteenth-century intellectual history to know
French and/or German. We are committed to the principle that the
culture of the United States needs to be understood in an
international context.
Cross-Cultural Requirement: Diversity lies at the heart of the
American experience. From the beginnings of human settlement,
through European conquests to the present, tribal, racial, ethnic,
religious, sexual and gender heterogeneity have characterized life in
the United States. And if heterogeneity and diversity are American
hallmarks, so too is transnationality. The experience of having two or
more "national" identities has been far more common than myths of
the "American melting pot" or official immigration policies have
admitted.
The Program curriculum requires that both diversity and
transnationality be addressed in each student's studies. By diversity
we mean multicultural and other forms of difference including race,
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/amcult.html (8 of 13) [3/29/2006 1:52:39 PM]
University of Michigan: American Culture
gender, and sexuality. We define transnationality as the critique and
the investigation of social, political, economic, and cultural forces, be
they inter- or cross-national.
During the second year of graduate study, students will prepare, in
consultation with their faculty advisors, a statement of at least 1000
words explaining the role of diversity and transnationality in their
course of study to date. The statement must be approved by the
Graduate Chair or by another faculty member charged with this
responsibility. Usually three courses on related topics will be proposed
as the center of the work for the requirement. Typically one course
might focus on a non-dominant racial or ethnic population within the
United States, one on gender and sexual diversity and one outside
the boundaries of the United States, but in ways that draw critical
attention to generative or productive relations within the United
States. Comparative course work or independent readings may also
be used as part of the requirement. If no available courses address
the interests of the student, independent research culminating in a
substantial research paper may be substituted. Course work used to
fulfill other requirements can also fulfill the diversity and
transnationality requirement, with the exception of the required firstyear courses (AC 697, AC 698 and 599). Although the diversity and
transnationality requirement need not have to be completed by
candidacy, typically students have been able to satisfy this and all
other course requirements by the end of their second year.
Preliminary Examination: During their fourth semester, students
file the cross-cultural statement and propose a field examinations
committee (see below for the nature of this committee). Once the
Director has approved these plans, the student is eligible to take the
preliminary examination. The preliminary examination committee
consists of the Director or someone designated to represent the
Director, and the members of the field examinations committee; the
student may also add to the committee other faculty members who
will not serve as field examiners but who, for example, have
supervised work in the first two years or might later supervise
dissertation work. For the examination the student prepares and
submits a packet of material consisting of: (1) one extended piece of
scholarly writing done during the first two years, representing the
student's best work; (2) the cross-cultural statement; (3) a
statement of intellectual focus of no more than 1000 words,
presenting the student's own assessment of her or his intellectual
development, strengths, and weaknesses, along with a plan of study
for the field examinations and, perhaps, a tentative sketch of
dissertation research. It is the Director's responsibility to review the
student's record before the examination, to verify completion of all
required courses and to ensure that the strengths and weaknesses
indicated in the file--in, for example, the four or more faculty letters
of recommendation that the annual review process will have produced
by this point--are recognized in the committee's discussions. The
preliminary examination is normally scheduled for all members of the
second-year class in May (it may be scheduled earlier in the fourth
term for any student who wishes and can arrange it). Any student
who does not qualify to schedule the preliminary examination at that
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/amcult.html (9 of 13) [3/29/2006 1:52:39 PM]
University of Michigan: American Culture
point will remain eligible for enrollment and financial support for at
least one more term, in order to give him or her the opportunity to
correct whatever problems have arisen and take the examination.
Further extensions may be offered at the discretion of the Director
and the American Culture faculty. A student who does not take the
preliminary examination on schedule is entitled, and should expect, to
provide frequent information about his or her progress. The
examination is a rigorous discussion, approximately one hour in
length, of the student's record, intellectual program, and level of
mastery of his or her core interests. Members of the committee
confer among themselves about the issues to be discussed before the
examination, and afterwards about the student's performance. The
purpose of the examination will be to assess the student's progress
and plans, with two results. The first will be to supply constructive,
evaluative information to the student; at least one member of the
committee (very likely more) will meet with him or her after the
examination, and a written report (available to the student) will be
filed with the Program. Second, a determination of satisfactory or
unsatisfactory progress is made. Students who pass the examination
are cleared to advance to candidacy once 36 credits have been
earned (immediately, if they have already accumulated those
credits). Should a preliminary examination committee find a student's
progress is unsatisfactory, that student will remain eligible for
enrollment and financial support for at least one more term in order
to provide an opportunity to resubmit the preliminary examination
packet and retake the examination. After that point, however, neither
continuance in the program nor continued funding can be expected,
although at the discretion of the Director and the American Culture
faculty they may be offered.
Candidacy: The student is recommended for candidacy to the
Graduate School by the Program upon successful completion of all precandidacy course requirements, overall satisfactory performance on
preliminary examinations, and attainment of a master's degree (as
well as upon satisfying the fee and residence requirements of the
Graduate School). The deadline for submitting candidacy applications
each term is approximately one month before the last day of classes
in the term preceding the term for which candidacy status is
requested. When candidacy is approved, the Registrar will change all
990 enrollments to 995 for the student and tuition is reassessed at
the candidacy rate. Any other course changes would require an
official drop/add form initiated by the student. Students may take one
course per term after candidacy, and will normally take one per term
during the third year. Given the contingencies of faculty leaves and
course scheduling, it will sometimes be appropriate for even more
advanced students to enroll in a course. In many cases, courses
completing the cross-cultural requirement and disciplinary spine will
be taken after candidacy; the advanced research colloquium will
always be taken after candidacy, sometimes during this third year but
more often after passing the field examinations.
Field Examinations: Usually, the third year is primarily devoted to
independent work in preparation for the field examinations. When
students are ready for the field examinations will necessarily depend
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/amcult.html (10 of 13) [3/29/2006 1:52:39 PM]
University of Michigan: American Culture
somewhat on how much relevant knowledge they accumulated before
entering the program and the nature of their fields. In some cases
very little time may elapse between the preliminary and field
examinations, and there is no rule against their being held in the
same term. Students will normally take the field examination at the
end of their third year, although it is recognized that a delay in this
timetable may be caused by a variety of factors. A student who has
not taken the field examinations by the end of the fourth year risks
loss of funding and being dropped from the program. A student who
is behind schedule should be asked to supply frequent information
about his or her progress.
Students are examined, on the basis of bibliographies each designed
in consultation with a faculty supervisor, in three fields. The fields can
be conceived either broadly or traditionally (e.g. American literature
1800-1945, American labor history, Native American history and
culture) or more specifically and individually (e.g. frontier culture,
20th-century minority literature, American culture in the 1890s). The
student should work out the definition of each field with the relevant
examiner and submit in writing a brief description of all three fields to
the Director for approval. When appropriate, the description should
be accompanied by a list of books in the field, approved by the
examiner. There is no objection to one list being jointly supervised by
two faculty members. At least two disciplines must be represented on
the committee. Occasionally, when a student has established a
working relationship with a scholar at another institution, one field
may be supervised by someone who is not a University of Michigan
faculty member; this option should be exercised only when the field
in question is not represented on the Michigan faculty or when the
external member has particularly outstanding qualifications. One
faculty member (not an external member) will be designated as chair
of the committee, and will serve as the student's primary advisor
during the period of preparation for the examinations.
An oral examination of approximately two hours is required; a written
examination in any or all fields may be done before the oral but may
not replace it. Written parts on the examination, if chosen, can either
be take-home or sit-down exams. Separate take-home exams for
individual fields should be answered in 48 hours. A student also has
the option of writing the whole written part as a take-home over a
period of ten days. In written exams, the faculty member who
constructs a separate exam evaluates it, but normally all the
examiners read it.
The field examination, like the preliminary examination, will produce
two results: constructive, evaluative information for the student, and
a determination of satisfactory or unsatisfactory progress. The chair
of the committee makes a formal report to the Director about the
student's performance on the examination. Grades for the exam are
pass/no pass. The student must complete the exam to the
satisfaction of all the examiners in order to pass. If a student fails
part of the exam, he or she must retake that part at a later date.
Students whose performance on the examination is satisfactory
advance to the dissertation stage. A student who fails the
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/amcult.html (11 of 13) [3/29/2006 1:52:39 PM]
University of Michigan: American Culture
examination remains eligible for enrollment and financial support for
at least one more term, in order to give him or her the opportunity to
retake the examination. After that point, however, neither
continuance in the program nor continued funding can be expected,
although at the discretion of the Director and the American Culture
faculty they may be offered.
Dissertation Plan: Before the end of the first term after the field
examinations are passed, students are required to file a dissertation
plan. With this document, the student must select a doctoral
committee, including the designation of a doctoral chair, which will
then be formally established by the Program and the Graduate School
to supervise the dissertation. The dissertation plan itself is a
description of the intended dissertation project, no fewer than 1000
and no more than 5000 words in length. The dissertation chair and
one other member of the faculty must approve it. The plan must
include a schedule for completion. The student and dissertation chair
may find it useful to convene a meeting of the whole committee at
this stage, but it is not required.
Dissertation: Within one year of submission of a dissertation plan,
students are expected to make a public presentation of a segment of
the dissertation work to the American Culture community. This
presentation is intended for work in progress, in most cases of a
chapter from the dissertation, although the talk should include a
description of the dissertation project as a whole. Members of the
student's dissertation committee and members of the Program
Executive Committee and Budgeted Faculty as well as other members
of the university community who are interested in the subject of the
presentation will be invited to attend. The student giving the
presentation will select two commentators (generally one faculty and
one student) and will answer questions and participate in the
subsequent discussion. Once an entire draft of the dissertation has
been completed, the student, after consultation with the dissertation
chair, should establish a date for the dissertation defense with the
Program. After successful completion of the dissertation and the
dissertation defense, the Ph.D. is granted. At least one of the four
members on the committee should be a faculty associate in American
Culture whenever this is feasible.
Residency: The Rackham School of Graduate Studies sets the
residency rules (see Rackham handbook). Briefly they are: 1) a
minimum of at least 68 fee credit hours overall, consisting of course
and dissertation work; 2) at least 36 fee credit hours must be
accumulated prior to admission to doctoral candidacy. If a student is
admitted with a relevant master's degree, the overall fee credit hours
is reduced to 50 with the accumulation of 18 fee credit hours required
prior to admission to doctoral candidacy. Full term enrollment is
required for the term in which the dissertation is defended. Note: It is
possible for a student to apply for "Detached Study" status away from
the University. In this status, which may last no more than three full
continuous terms and must be applied for in advance of the proposed
detached study, there is no fee payment and a student remains in
active student status. The usual length of study for American Studies
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/amcult.html (12 of 13) [3/29/2006 1:52:39 PM]
University of Michigan: American Culture
graduate students has been two or three years (including the M.A.) at
the precandidacy stage and one to three years researching and
writing the dissertation. Some students take a longer time for the
course work when they also serve as graduate student instructors.
Enrollment of at least six credit hours is required for graduate student
instructors.
5) FELLOWSHIPS
The Program receives its proportionate share of Regents' and
Rackham fellowships. Properly qualified Ph.D. candidates in the

Interdepartmental Degree Program
Doctor of Philosophy
The Doctoral program in Anthropology and History, a collaborative
effort of the two departments, offers simultaneous training and
genuine professional certification in the two disciplines. The program
is designed, further, to secure the intellectual and methodological
rapprochement between the two disciplines. Over the last two
decades there has been increasing recognition in anthropology of the
need to study cultures in historical depth, while social and cultural
historians have turned to anthropology for guidance and instruction.
In addition to the specific requirements listed below, see the Doctoral
Degrees section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Doctor of Philosophy
The Ph.D. in Anthropology and History is awarded to students who
have satisfied the following requirements as graduate students:
successfully completed, with a grade of B or better, the two core
courses in Ethnology (Anthropology 526 and 527) and one additional
core course in another subdiscipline (archaeology, linguistics, biology)
successfully completed, with a grade of B or better, one of the
designated studies courses in History (usually History 615), the
Anthropology & History Core Seminar, and one 700 level History
Seminar
passed departmental evaluations in Anthropology and History
demonstrated basic proficiency in two languages, other than English,
with scholarly literatures
passed the preliminary examination, often called the "general
examination," in Anthropology and History
written a satisfactory doctoral dissertation
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/anthrohis.html (3 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:52:40 PM]
University of Michigan: Anthropology and History
Preliminary Examination: Students are required to prepare five
fields, two in History, two in Anthropology (one of which must be
general ethnological theory) and one defined in such a way as to be
genuinely bidisciplinary. The latter field may either be defined by
areas--combining an Anthropology area field with a History
regional/chronological field--or by topic--combining an Anthropology
field in a sub-branch of ethnological theory, e.g., Political
Anthropology, with a "topical field" in History, e.g., comparative state
formation. Students take written examinations in two fields, general
ethnological theory and one History field (or their bidisciplinary field).
These are followed by oral examinations in four fields; requirements
for the fifth field are met by achieving a grade of B+ or better in six
hours of graduate course work.
Dissertation: As a Ph.D. candidate, the student's focus is on the
preparation of the dissertation, a work of original research and
writing. The first stage is the preparation of the dissertation
prospectus, discussed and agreed upon with the student's dissertation
committee through a scheduled prospectus defense. The prospectus
defense should take place within three to four months of completing
the preliminary exams and the dissertation committee should include
at least one member from each of the two departments conducting
the program.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

requirements listed below, see the Master's Degrees and Doctoral
Degrees sections of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Master of Science
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/apphysics.html (2 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:52:41 PM]
University of Michigan: Applied Physics
Admission: The Applied Physics Program is designed for students
intending to pursue coursework and research leading to the Ph.D.
degree. Accordingly, students are not admitted as candidates for the
Master of Science degree. Under certain circumstances students may
elect to terminate their study early and would then be eligible for a
masters degree after they have satisfied the following requirements:
Minimum Number of Credits Required: 30 credit hours. Up to six
credit hours may be transferred from other graduate programs or
universities subject to program approval.
Specific Course Requirements: At least 20 hours of graduate level
courses from the Applied Physics core curriculum at the 500-level or
higher. Students must attain at least a B average in order to satisfy
requirements.
Language Requirement: None.
Thesis or Research Essay: None.
Final Examination: None.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: A completed application and transcripts of all previous
academic records must be on file. The admission committee will take
into account the applicant's background in the physical sciences,
engineering physics and related disciplines. A good grounding in basic
physics is expected with at least 15 hours of introductory and
intermediate course work in classical mechanics, statistical physics,
electricity and magnetism, and quantum physics. Graduate Record
Examination general scores are required and the GRE Subject Test in
Physics is recommended. Three letters of recommendation must be
submitted of which at least two must be from an academic institution.
Students from non-English-speaking countries are required to
demonstrate proficiency in English via the TOEFL examination.
Minimum score for admission is 560. The deadline for applications for
financial aid consideration is February 1st.
Range of Enrollment: The program is normally four to five years
with an emphasis on course work during the first two years,
thereafter on research. Students are encouraged to become involved
in research at the earliest opportunity and are required to complete a
supervised research project in their first year. When students
complete the basic academic core, have satisfied the qualification
procedure (see below), have formed a Dissertation Committee, and
have obtained approval for their Dissertation Prospectus, they are
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/apphysics.html (3 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:52:41 PM]
University of Michigan: Applied Physics
eligible to be recommended for admission to Candidacy for the Ph.D.
The recommendation is made by the Applied Physics Program
Executive Committee. Candidacy is normally achieved after four or
five semesters of graduate work.
Specific Course Requirements: In order to achieve Candidacy and
form a Dissertation Committee, six prescribed 500-level courses
(Phys. 505/506, Phys. 507, Phys. 510, Phys. 511/512, Phys. 520, and
a computational/math methods elective must be passed with a grade
B or better. In addition, two 600-level courses and two distribution
courses (chosen in consultation with the program advisor according to
the student's research needs) must be completed satisfactorily.
Satisfactory completion of one 4-credit hour course on non-thesis
research is also required, under the supervision of a faculty member.
Prior approval by the program committee must be obtained before
beginning this supervised research course. All first, second and third
year students are required to enroll in a weekly seminar course (App.
Phys. 514). Contact the program office for further details on the
Applied Physics course offerings.
Qualification: The decision to qualify a student for Ph.D. study is
based on the student's academic record, performance in a four-credit
hour supervised research project, and the results of a two-part
Qualifying Examination. The first part of the Qualifying Examination
consists of the GRE Subject Test in Physics, normally administered in
Ann Arbor in April. Students who have taken the GRE Subject Test in
Physics within the last five years with a score of 70% or more do not
need to retake this test. The second part of the Qualifying
Examination is an oral examination; beginning with a brief
presentation of the student's supervised research followed by
questions on standard undergraduate-level physics. The Qualifying
Examination (both parts) can be retaken once, and only once, after
beginning graduate studies.
Foreign Language Requirement: None.
Work Experience Requirement: None.
Preliminary Examination: A Preliminary examination of the
student's preparation for dissertation research will be made by the
student's Dissertation Committee. The preliminary examination will
take the form of a presentation to the committee of a Dissertation
Prospectus stating the objectives and proposed methods of
investigation. This prospectus will also contain an overview of existing
work of relevance to the thesis topic together with appropriate
literature references. The prospectus should be no more than 10
double-spaced typed pages in length. The prospectus will be
presented for discussion and approval at a meeting with the student's
Dissertation Committee. The Prospectus must be distributed to the
Dissertation Committee at least 30 days before the meeting. Over the
signatures of the Dissertation Committee, the program committee will
authorize the student to proceed with the thesis research.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/apphysics.html (4 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:52:41 PM]
University of Michigan: Applied Physics
Candidate Status: Students normally will have formed their
Dissertation Committee by the end of their fifth term in graduate
school. Approval of the Dissertation Prospectus is a program
requirement prior to candidacy.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

University of Michigan: Architecture
professional education in applied research. It is a two and one-half
term, intensive, non-studio-based program. It is particularly
appropriate for mid-career professionals, students interested in
pursuing a Ph.D. but who lack the knowledge or skills for immediate
pursuit of this degree and persons who presently hold a professional
degree in architecture and are seeking to broaden their knowledge
and skill base, thus enhancing their employment prospects.
In contrast to the Master of Architecture degree, the Master of
Science degree is a non-professional, non-terminal degree. Those
who hold only the Master of Science degree are not eligible to apply
for professional registration. Moreover, in most cases, the Master of

pursue the Master of Science degree is limited to the fall term only.
To qualify for admission, an applicant must have earned a
professional degree in architecture, professional degree in a design
field, or a bachelor's or more advanced degree in any field and
significant professional exposure to architecture.
In addition, the following items are required from applicants:
1. A statement of purpose describing the applicant's proposed
area of specialization and research interests.
2. Examples of work by the applicant which may consist of a
portfolio, published articles, or other papers and documents
which are relevant to the applicant's proposed specialization
area.
3. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) test scores, required
by all applicants.
4. Three letters of recommendation.
5. Foreign applicants whose native language is not English, the
TOEFL language test with a score of 560 or better is required.
Minimum Number of Credits Required: 32 credit hours
Specific Course Requirements: Students take an average of five
required courses, four elective courses in the student's area of
specialization and two courses outside the student's area of study.
Additional requirements may be recommended by the student's
advisor.

University of Michigan: Architecture
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: Admission to the Ph.d Program in Architecture is limited
to the fall term only. Applicants must submit an application and
official transcripts of all previous academic experience. To quality for
admission, the applicant must have earned either a professional
(B.Arch. or M.Arch.) degree in architecture; or a master's degree in
any field, accompanied by a non-professional bachelor's degree in
architecture or other evidence of the applicant's architectural
background. The TOEFL is required from all international applicants
with a minimum of 560. Three letters of recommendation, a
statement of purpose, and the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
are required.
Range of Enrollment: Two years of formal coursework which
includes 39 credit hours of graduate level coursework before
candidacy is achieved and dissertation research begins.
Course Requirements: Requirements vary by area of specialization.
The core curriculum for the program consists of courses on the
theoretical foundations of architecture, research methods, and
seminars relating to the student's major and/ minor specialization
areas. Students are required to take 15 credit hours of core courses;
one 3-credit hour focused research methods course, 12 credit hours
of courses in a major and 9 credit hours of courses in a minor area of
study.
Research Requirement: Research practicum and doctoral
dissertation.
Foreign Language Requirement: May be required, depending on
the student's area of specialization and proposed research topic.
Work Experience: Not required, but recommended.
Preliminary Examination: The written and oral preliminary
examination is intended not only to serve as a mechanism to test the
student's mastery of his/her major and minor areas of specialization,
but also to provide an important opportunity to crystallize his/her
conception of the discipline of architecture by synthesizing material
from the various core courses and his/her specialized areas of study.
The examination consists of four parts:
1. Written examination demonstrating a critical ability to
integrate basic theoretical, methodological and substantive
issues in architectural research;
2. Written examination in the major area of study;
3. Written examination in the minor area of study; and
4. Oral examination.
Dissertation Prospectus: Students must complete a dissertation
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/arch.html (4 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:52:42 PM]
University of Michigan: Architecture
proposal that is reviewed and approved by an appropriate dissertation
committee. The oral examination of the proposal explores the
feasibility of the research and ensures that the proposed research is
of a scale and importance to be an acceptable dissertation.
Admission to Candidacy: Rackham candidacy requirements are
described in the Requirements for Achieving Candidacy section of the
Graduate Student Handbook.
Dissertation Committee: The dissertation shall be prepared under a
dissertation committee appointed by the Dean of the Rackham
Graduate School on recommendation of the Doctoral Program Chair.

Degree Programs
Asian Languages and Cultures
Master of Arts
Doctor of Philosophy
Prerequisites for Admission: Applicants for admission are expected
to have competence in the Asian and non-Asian languages relevant to
their area of specialization, basic knowledge of that area of
specialization and of Asia generally, as well as work in cognate
humanities disciplines in the Western tradition. A relevant Bachelor of
Arts degree in the candidate's field of specialization is preferred.
Occasionally, however, students are admitted to an M.A. program on
the basis of superior academic achievement in another discipline.
Such students should expect to take more time to earn the M.A.
Because M.A. programs vary from institution to institution, students
entering the Ph.D. program from another college or university may be
required to submit copies of seminar papers or Master's essays with
the usual application materials.
Length of Degree Program: Attaining the Master of Arts degree can
be expected to occupy from 4-5 semesters in the case of the normally
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/asia.html (2 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:52:44 PM]
University of Michigan: Asian Languages and Cultures
prepared student. Requirements include a minimum of 34 credit
hours in graduate-level courses taken under the guidance of the
appropriate graduate advisor. The Ph.D. usually takes one year of
additional coursework and anywhere between two to three years of
dissertation work.
In addition to the specific requirements listed below, see the Master's
Degrees and Doctoral Degrees sections of the Graduate Student
Handbook.
Asian Languages and Cultures
Master of Arts
Doctor of Philosophy
Students with at least a B.A. degree and a strong desire to pursue
research should apply to the Ph.D. program in Asian Languages and
Cultures. Department faculty specialize in the areas of East, South
and Southeast Asia, with expertise in the disciplines of cultural
studies, intellectual history, linguistics, literature, performance
studies, philosophy, religion and visual culture. Students accepted
into the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures may craft and
pursue programs of graduate study in fields such as Asian film,
Chinese poetry, Sanskrit linguistics, Korean history, Japanese
literature, Javanese cultural studies, Buddhist studies or any other
combination of geographical area and academic discipline for which
there is sufficient faculty availability and interest.
Mentoring Committees: The Department's Graduate Program
Committee will assign a First-Year Mentoring Committee for each
incoming graduate student. The Mentoring Committee will consist of
an advisor from the Department and one or two members, who may
or may not be from the Department. The assignment of the First-Year
Mentoring Committee will be based on compatibility of interests and
the equitable distribution of faculty mentoring assignments. Normally,
no faculty member may be assigned to more than three mentoring
committees for any entering cohort. First •ear Mentoring Committee
assignments will be communicated in writing to the faculty members
and students involved. A new Mentoring Committee will be
constituted by the student in consultation with the Director of
Graduate Studies at the end of the second semester.
Master of Arts
Students in the M.A. degree program must complete at least 24 credit
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/asia.html (3 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:52:44 PM]
University of Michigan: Asian Languages and Cultures
hours of coursework, all selected in consultation with their Mentoring
Committee. Besides coursework, the requirements also include a
qualifying paper, usually a revised version of a seminar paper, to be
submitted to the Mentoring Committee. This paper may be presented
to the Department. The students may be required to demonstrate
proficiency in the Asian language relevant to their field of
specialization. All requirements are expected to be completed by the
end of the fourth semester of graduate study.
Financial aid (including Graduate Student Instructor positions) is
normally not available to students in the M.A. program. Admission to
the M.A. program carries no presumption of subsequent admission to
the Ph.D. program in Asian Languages and Cultures.
Doctor of Philosophy
Language Requirements: The specific language requirements will
be determined in consultation with the Graduate Advisor. Generally,
the student will be required to demonstrate a high degree of
proficiency in the Asian language most relevant to the student's
research plans. In some cases this will involve both modern and premodern forms of that language.
Students are also required to demonstrate at least reading proficiency
in a second modern or pre-modern language relevant to their
proposed research. This requirement can be satisfied by completion of
approved sequences of coursework in the language or by passing an
approved test whose results are evaluated by a faculty member
appointed by the Graduate Program Committee. In that case, that
appointed faculty member would notify the Graduate Program
Committee of the results of the test in writing.
Course Work: Each student will be expected to complete a minimum
of 36 credit hours of graduate credit. Out of these, 24 credit hours
must be completed by the end of the fourth term. Language courses
normally do not count toward this requirement. Applicants with an
M.A. from another program or university should be aware that their
prior graduate work would not necessarily fulfill any of the
requirements for the Ph.D. degree.
The Department offers courses for graduate credit at the 500, 600,
and 700 levels. Courses at the 400 level are normally designed for
undergraduate students. A 400 level course may be taken for
graduate credit if the course is approved for graduate credit by being
listed in the Rackham Bulletin or approved by the sponsoring
department, or if the student, with the instructor's guidance,
completed additional reading and writing assignments. There is no
limit imposed by either Rackham or the Department on the number of
400 level courses that can be taken for graduate credit. However,
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/asia.html (4 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:52:44 PM]
University of Michigan: Asian Languages and Cultures
students who want to take more than two 400 level courses must
consult their advisor first.
Fourth Term Review: By the end of each student's fourth term in
the program, the student's Mentoring Committee will complete a
comprehensive review of his or her progress in the Program. The
Mentoring Committee will meet with the student no later than the end
of the first month of the fourth term to discuss this review.
Preliminary Examinations: The preliminary exams are a set of
tests designed to assess the student's capacity to define, organize,
document and test specialized hypotheses in their chosen field of
research. Details of examination fields (including cognate fields) are
available upon request.
The Doctoral Dissertation: The doctoral dissertation should
represent a major original contribution to the field. Although
translations of classical works may constitute a significant portion of a
dissertation, the student is expected to develop and support an
original thesis in a manner that demonstrates facility and command of
both original sources and secondary literature.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

Rackham Dual Degree Programs
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/asianst.html (4 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:52:45 PM]
University of Michigan: Asian Studies
The Rackham Graduate School's Asian Area Centers and the School of
Business Administration offer dual degree programs enabling a small
number of qualified persons to pursue concurrent work in Business
Administration and one of the Asian area studies leading to the
M.B.A. and M.A. degrees. The program is arranged so that
requirements for both degrees can be completed in three years of
enrollment. Three years of Chinese or Japanese language (two years
in South Asian or Southeast Asian language if that is the geographic
concentration) are required for degrees in these programs.
Students interested in an M.B.A./M.A. dual program must apply to
and be admitted by both schools, using their separate, respective
application forms and clearly indicating that application is being made
to the dual program. Scores from the Graduate Management Aptitude
Test may be submitted in lieu of the GRE scores for the dual degree
program. A special notation should be made on the front of both
applications. The application fee should be paid to the Rackham
Graduate School with a note attached to the other school stating that
the fee was paid.
This dual degree program is not open to students who already have
earned either the M.B.A. or an M.A. in one of the area studies.
However, students registered in the first year of either program may
apply. The dual program can begin with studies in either school. The
degrees are simultaneously conferred. For further information
regarding the dual degree programs contact the individual center.
For Important Dual/Joint Degree Credit Information click here
Questions about the M.B.A./M.A. may also be addressed to Bradley
Farnsworth, Director of the Center for International Business
Education, or to Linda Lim, Professor of Corporate Strategy and
International Business.
The University of Michigan Law School and the Center of Japanese
Studies (CJS) within the Rackham School of Graduate Studies offer a
joint degree program, enabling a small number of qualified persons to
pursue concurrent work in law and Japanese studies leading to the
J.D./M.A. degrees. The program is arranged so that all requirements
for both degrees may be completed in three and one-half to four
years of concurrent enrollment. The degrees are awarded
simultaneously. The joint degree program is not open to students
who have already earned either the M.A. in Japanese Studies or the
J.D. degree. Students who are registered in the first year of of the
CJS program or second year at the Law School may apply for
admission to the joint program. Scores from the LSAT may be
submitted in lieu of the GRE.
Application and Tuition: Students interested in the J.D./M.A. in
Japanese Studies combined program must obtain applications directly
from the Law School and the CJS. Students should indicate on both
applications that they are applying for this specific joint degree
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/asianst.html (5 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:52:45 PM]
University of Michigan: Asian Studies
program. The application fee should be paid to the Rackham Graduate
School with a note attached to the other school stating that the fee
was paid. Students must file the appropriate applications to and be
admitted by both units. Law School and Graduate School tuition fees
differ. Tuition will be assessed at either the Law School or the
Graduate School rate, whichever is higher, when courses counted
toward both degrees are taken in one term.
For Important Dual/Joint Degree Credit Information click here
Student Initiated Dual Degree Programs
A Student Initiated Dual Degree Program is a program of study
resulting in two different degree citations on the transcript and on two
diplomas. Permission for enrollment in such a program is given in
each specific case by the Graduate School on the recommendation of
the two departments or programs involved. Requests for such a
program should be submitted after the student has been admitted to
a regularly approved field of study. In some cases, the completion of
one term of course work may be required. Standard admission
procedures are followed in seeking admission to the second program.
While there are other types of dual degrees, Asian Studies might be
combined with a professional degree such as a Master of Public Policy,
Master of Social Work, Master of Urban Planning or one of the
Master's degrees in the School of Public Health. Regulations applying

Bioinformatics is a new discipline that is developing to meet the need
for computational methods to integrate, model, store and retrieve
biomedical data and ultimately to use this information to better
understand biological systems. Scientists in biomedical informatics
need multi-disciplinary skills and knowledge distinct from those of
other disciplines. The goal is to elucidate and to quantify the complex
web of interactions that link the numerous hierarchical levels of
organization from DNA sequence to integrated behavior of the intact
organism in its environment.
We are rapidly assembling the "parts catalog" for many organisms.
Yet, by comparison, we still know relatively little about the integrated
system -- what makes it a living cell, or how it will respond to a novel
environment or to a specific change in its genome. In short, our
knowledge is still fragmented and descriptive; we have almost no
understanding of the "design principles" that govern interactive
biological systems. From this perspective it is clear that the principal
goal of bioinformatics for some time to come will be understanding
the integrated behavior of the intact organism (the phenotype) in
relation to its underlying molecular determinants (the genotype).
Master of Science
Admission: Applicants must submit a completed application and
transcripts of all previous academic records, and provide results of
the Graduate Record Examinations, a Statement of Purpose and
Three letters of recommendation
The Bioinformatics Graduate Program would like to have you include
a description of your undergraduate/graduate/industrial research

as teaching in secondary schools, employment in a variety of
research-oriented jobs, interpretive work in parks and nature centers,
and preparation for further professional training. The Department
offers both a thesis and a non-thesis option. Students are encouraged
to seek research experience with one or more of the faculty here as
part of their degree. The Master’s degree is not a prerequisite for
admission to the doctoral program, nor is it intended as probationary
admission to the doctoral program.
Admission: Applicants must submit to the department: one
completed application, one set of official transcripts from all previous
academic records, three letters of recommendation preferably from
biologists or instructors, a Statement of Purpose, and an official copy
of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test Score. In
addition, submit the required Rackham application materials and fee
directly to the Rackham Graduate School.
It is recommended that the following courses be completed for
admission: Physics, two semesters of lectures or one lecture and one
semester of lab; General Chemistry, two semesters of lectures and
one semester of lab; Organic Chemistry, two semesters of lectures
and one semester of lab; Calculus, one semester.
Admissions Recommendations: Applicants with good records but
who lack one or two of the recommended courses are eligible for
admission. However, it is advantageous to complete the
recommendations before or during the application process. Courses
taken at the graduate level may be used to fulfill recommendations
but no more than eight credits may be counted toward the 24
graduate credit hours required for completion of the program.
Undergraduate level courses are usually elected to fulfill other
entrance recommendations, such as physics, but credits earned for
these courses are not included in the total Credits Toward Program
(CTP).
Specific Course Requirements: The degree requires the completion
of 24 graduate credit hours in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and
other science related courses; at least 16 hours must be selected
from courses in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
No more than six hours of independent research courses may be
included in the minimum 24 hours required. Election of courses is
determined in consultation with an advisor and is based on the
professional goals of the individual student. The program must
include two EEB Department seminar courses. Students must also
complete four hours of graduate level cognate course work. The
cognate course must be offered by a department other than the
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and should be a
science-related course or one that is relevant to the program (e.g.,
Stat 402; Biochem 515; Geol 418).

appropriate to their areas of study.
The Department administers a doctoral program in Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology. EEB comprises diverse faculty members in the
fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, behavior, systematics, and
paleontology, and includes faculty with joint appointments in the
Museum of Zoology, University Herbarium, Museum of Paleontology,
School of Natural Resources & Environment, School of Public Health,
Center for the Study of Complex Systems, and the Department of
Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology.
Admission: Applicants must submit to the department: one
completed application, one set of official transcripts from all previous
academic records, three letters of recommendation preferably from
biologists or instructors, a Statement of Purpose, and an official copy
of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test Score. In
addition, submit the required Rackham application materials and fee
directly to the Rackham Graduate School.
It is recommended that the following courses be completed for
admission: Physics, two semesters of lectures or one lecture and one
semester of lab; General Chemistry, two semesters of lectures and
one semester of lab; Organic Chemistry, two semesters of lectures
and one semester of lab; Calculus, two semesters.
Financial Support: Our department provides an outstanding support
package to doctoral students. We guarantee five years of full funding,
provided satisfactory progress is made. This package typically
includes academic year and summer support through a combination
of fellowships, research assistantships, and graduate student
instructorships. In addition, you will receive a full tuition waiver and
health benefits for five years. We strongly encourage applications for
external fellowship support and graduate assistantships from sources
such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Course Requirements: Incoming students are required to enroll in

another field of study.
Evaluation Examination: The Department administers its own
evaluation examination of its second-year doctoral students. The
examination requires submission of a review paper, an oral
examination, and a seminar presentation, which are evaluated by the
Evaluation Committee consisting of three or four faculty. Upon
completion of all components of the examination, the Evaluation
Committee submits its recommendation to the Faculty. The EEB
Faculty may accept, reject, or amend the recommendations of the
Evaluation Committee. The recommendations of the Faculty are then
communicated to the Graduate Affairs Committee for consideration
and action. The Committee can recommend that a student (1)
proceed to establish a Dissertation Committee, (2) undertake
remedial action and retake all or a portion of the evaluation at a later
date, or (3) be separated from the Ph.D. Program. The Graduate
Affairs Committee informs students of the final outcome of the
Evaluation Process. A student may appeal the final decisions, and the
appeal process is initiated by writing a letter to the Graduate Affairs
Committee. Following a favorable evaluation and approval by the
Graduate Affairs Committee, the student may proceed to establish a
Dissertation Committee, and to take the necessary steps to advance
to Candidacy.
Foreign Language Requirement: None.
Work Experience Requirement: Students are required to teach
two semesters at a half-time appointment.
Candidate Status: Contact the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Office for specific requirements. See the Requirements for Achieving

University of Michigan: Graduate Programs in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology
Research Rotation
Year 1, Term 2:
MCDB 615: This course will mainly involve reading, discussing and
presenting primary research papers.
Research Rotation
Other Courses: Appropriate specialty courses decided upon by the
student in consultation with the advisory faculty can be taken during
any term other than Term 1 of the first year.
Teaching: Each student is required to serve as a Graduate Student
Instructor (Teaching Assistant) for two semesters prior to receipt of
the Ph.D.. Typically students will serve as a GSI one term of year 2
and then another term after the 2nd year.
Seminar: Each student presents a seminar to teh Department
including teh Prelim Examination Committee members (see below).
This seminar is normally presented in the 1st Term of teh 2nd year.
The seminar will typically be a presentation of one of the student's
research experiences, and usually will include plans for the future, but
can also cover other material. The faculty member who supervised
the rotation that is the focus of the talk is required to help the
student with the seminar, including critiquing practice talks.
The Prelim Committee determines whether the seminar was
satisfactory based on comments from the faculty in attendance. If the
performance is deemed unsatisfactory, a satisfactory second seminar
is required before the written and oral Prelim examination. In such
cases, the Prelim Committee is charged with making sure that the
student receives proper instruction for a successful seminar.
Preliminary Examination (2nd Year Evaluation):
Students must demonstrate that they are qualified to proceed in the
Ph.D. program by passing the second year evaluation administered by
representatives from the MCDB faculty. Students can petition the
MCDB Graduate Studies Committee for exceptions to the standard
procedures and timetable for the Prelim examinations. Exceptions are
allowable upon the majority vote of teh MCDB Graduate Studies
Committee.
The Preliminary examination consists of a written and oral exam and
is taken in the 2nd semester of the 2nd year. The Prelim examination
is prepared, administered, and evaluated by the Prelim Committee.
Materials for the written documents consist of several research
questions. The student chooses one question and proposes a set of
experiments that incorporates several different conceptual and/or

University of Michigan: Graduate Programs in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology
methodological approaches. The proposal should clearly state the
hypotheses to be tested, describe teh key background evidence that
serves as teh basis for the hypotheses, propose experiments to test
the hypotheses, and discuss possible outcomes and how they would
be interpreted. The Preliminary Committee will provide written
comments on the written document to the student within one week
after it is handed in to help students prepare for the oral exam.
During the oral examination the student is expected to give a short
summary of teh significance and rationale of the proposed
experiments and respond to the written feedback from the
Preliminary Committee. This is accompanied and followed by
questions from the Preliminary Committee. In preparation for the oral
Preliminary exam, the student is encouraged to discuss the written
document and oral defense with any colleagues, not including their
prospective mentor.
Foreign Language Requirement: None
Candidate Status: The MCDB Graduate Studies Committee
determines whether or not to recommend the student for
advancement to candidacy based upon the student's performance in
the Preliminary examination, seminar, research rotations, courses
and teaching, and the successful identification of a research mentor.
Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular, Cellular
and Developmental Biology (PIBS)
Admission: Students apply through the Program in Biomedical
Sciences (PIBS), which represents 13 departmental and
interdepartmental Ph.D. programs at the University of Michigan.
Admission to PIBS provides entry to each of these programs and
gives the student access to more than 200 faculty working in all areas
of biological and biomedical research. Students with a bachelor's
degree or equivalent in the chemical, biological, or physical sciences
are encouraged to apply. Applicants should have completed course

The Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS) at the University of
Michigan coordinates admissions and the first year of graduate
studies for thirteen Ph.D. programs. Graduate students entering PIBS
are offered flexibility in the choice of any of the participating Ph.D.
programs, while retaining the small, focused environment of each of
the individual training programs. Entering students can immediately
begin training in any of thirteen participating programs, or take a
course of study compatible with several programs. In the meantime,
students engage in research rotations in two to four laboratories of
their choice out of over 300 graduate research mentors available in
the thirteen programs. PIBS has been set up so that students are not
required to make final decisions until the end of their first year on
which research laboratory or training program they will enter.
Financial support includes a competitive stipend, a healthcare plan,
and a modest reimbursement for moving expenses.

(a) have 24 hours of graduate credit; (b) satisfy Graduate School
requirements for the master's degree (see Chapter 7).
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: Applicants submit an application to the Program in
Biomedical Sciences (PIBS) at the University of Michigan, specifying
their interest in CMB. Applications consist of the following:
1. A completed PIBS application form, statement of
purpose, and application processing fee for Rackham
School of Graduate Studies.
2. Official transcripts from all undergraduate and
graduate institutions attended.
3. Three completed recommendation forms and
accompanying letters of recommendation from faculty
or research mentors who are familiar with your

Coursework: A flexible course program is selected and scheduled
individually for each student in consultation with faculty and student
advisers. All CMB students take formal graduate level courses in cell
biology, molecular genetics and biochemistry. Because of the
University-wide composition of CMB, there is great flexibility in which
courses can be chosen to fulfill these requirements. A wide choice of
elective courses offered throughout the University are used to tailor
each student's training to individual research interests. (See samples
below) One course offered specifically for CMB students (CMB 850) is
a weekly session in which students present formal research and
literature seminars. The interdisciplinary aspect of CMB is also
highlighted in a series of short courses on high-profile topics of
current interest (CMB 630), selected by students and presented by
worldwide experts.
Preliminary Examination: The preliminary exam gives the student
an opportunity to demonstrate creativity, imagination, and knowledge
of one area of current research interest. The exam tests the student's

University of Michigan: Doctoral Program in Chemical Biology
(Biological Chemistry), Erik Zuiderweg (Biophysics Research Division,
Biological Chemistry, Chemistry)
About the Program
One of the most exciting developments of modern biology is our
growing ability to study the molecular details of biological
macromolecules using techniques developed by chemists, biochemists
and structural biologists. These molecular details provide fundamental
insights into the functional properties of biological molecules and
suggest routes by which they can be manipulated. The discipline of
Chemical Biology is premised on the view that understanding the
molecular mechanisms of biological processes provides an opportunity
to manipulate them in a defined and predictable fashion.
At virtually every major university in the United States, research in
chemical biology is dispersed among several departments (e.g.,
biology, chemistry and biochemistry) and schools (e.g., literature &
science colleges and medical schools). Often times, this dispersion
results in graduate training that is fragmented and in some cases,
inadequate. In addition, no single department or graduate program
by itself has large numbers of faculty working in chemical biology.
Therefore, choices for thesis research in any given department or
program can be limited.
The University of Michigan is a recognized leader in the application of
chemical approaches to biological problems and has been for many
years. To better serve the needs of today’s students, the University
has implemented a new Ph.D. program focusing exclusively on
chemical biology. This program seeks to recruit 22 new students each
year and offers didactic and research training, leading to the Doctor
of Philosophy degree in Chemical Biology. A unique feature of this
program is the offering of high-level, in-depth training in core areas
of chemistry and biology, followed by specialized coursework based
on the student’s interests. Importantly, the Chemical Biology
Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program at Michigan coalesces faculty in
chemical biology from a number of departments into a single training
faculty. This ‘virtual department’ provides students with over 40
different faculty choices for dissertation research. Completion of the
program will equip students with the wide-ranging knowledge and
skills necessary to successfully compete for top positions in academic
research, teaching, industry or administration.
Curriculum
Chemical Biology trainees follow an interdisciplinary course of
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/biohealth.sci/chembio.html (2 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:52:57 PM]
University of Michigan: Doctoral Program in Chemical Biology
preparation not available in most departmental settings. The
classroom component of the Chemical Biology curriculum is
comprised of several high-level courses and is designed to provide
students with rigorous training in modern aspects of chemical biology.
First, all students take Chemical Biology 501/502, which is a twosemester course that discusses the structure, function and chemistry
of biological macromolecules including proteins, nucleic acids and
carbohydrates. Topics include mechanistic enzymology, the
interactions of proteins and small molecules with RNA and DNA,
macromolecular folding, combinatorial methods including SELEX and
gene shuffling, combinatorial organic synthesis, high throughput
screening and chemical genetics. All students will also complete
Chemical Biology 601/602, which is also a two-semester long course.
In this class, students are taught critical thinking and analysis
through weekly discussion of the primary research literature.
Based on individual interests, the remaining course requirements of
the Program can be fulfilled from a variety of chemistry, biochemistry
or biology classes taught on campus. Hence, a major advantage of
the Chemical Biology Program is that it allows students maximum
flexibility in their training program.
During the first year in the program, students are required to conduct
two semester-long research rotations in different laboratories of their
choosing. These rotations are important for many reasons: they
provide an opportunity for students to meet the faculty and other
graduate students; they provide a basis to select a research advisor;
they give students the chance to experience different types of
research; and they acclimate students to the research environment at
the University. If appropriate, students may elect one additional lab
rotation in the spring/summer term or choose a thesis advisor after
two rotations.
Upon satisfactory completion of course and research rotation
requirements, students present a seminar based on their research
and undertake the Preliminary Qualifying Examination. Upon
successful completion of the examination, a student becomes a
candidate for the Ph.D. degree and focuses exclusively on thesis
research. Once research results are deemed to be suitable for writing
a thesis by the advisor and thesis committee, students begin to write
a thesis and then defend it. The expected time needed to obtain the
Ph.D. degree is approximately five years.
Financial Aid
The Chemical Biology Doctoral Program provides 12 months of
financial support during each year of your program tenure through
research assistantships that pay full tuition and subsidized health care
benefits, as well as a generous stipend, provided that students
remain in good academic standing. For the 2005-2006 academic year,
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/biohealth.sci/chembio.html (3 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:52:57 PM]
University of Michigan: Doctoral Program in Chemical Biology
the stipend will be $23,500.
Unlike many other programs where teaching assistantships are used
for financial support, particularly during the first year, the Chemical
Biology Program research assistantships free students to concentrate
on research and full-time study for the entire time they are in the
Program. For students who wish to gain experience teaching, the
program will work with both the student and their thesis mentor to
find an appropriate teaching assistantship. Typically, these positions
are assigned on a per semester basis, during which time students
assist a faculty member in the instruction of either a graduate or
undergraduate course.
Research assistantships will be provided by the program for the first
year and then by the thesis advisor. In addition, there are several
campus-wide training grants provided by the federal government,
which support Chemical Biology graduate students. In most cases,
selection for these training programs occurs in the second year of
graduate study. The Rackham Graduate School at Michigan also
awards a number of four-year fellowships to students historically
under-represented in the sciences.
More information on the program and how to apply can be found on
the program’s website at www.chembio.umich.edu

For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.
Rackham Dual Degree Programs
The School of Business Administration and the Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering offer a dual degree program enabling
a small number of qualified students to pursue concurrent studies in
business administration and construction engineering and
management. Upon completion, students will receive both the M.B.A.
and the M.S.E. (Construction Engineering and Management) degrees.
A student interested in the dual program must apply and be admitted
to both programs by submitting the application forms for each
program and indicating that he or she is applying to the dual
program. The application fee may be paid to either program,
however, the disposition of the fee should be noted on the application
to the program not receiving the fee. The dual degree program is not
open to persons who have earned M.B.A. or M.S.E. (Construction
Engineering and Management) degrees. However, students registered
in either program may apply.
The typical student is expected to hold a B.S. in engineering and to
have an interest in a business and engineering career that includes
construction engineering and management. Students must complete
the course requirements in both programs. Students must also
complete independent study course, Civ. and Environ. Eng. 630, to
integrate general management and construction engineering skills.
Students must take Civ. and Environ. Eng. 431, Construction
Contracting, if they have not previously taken it or its equivalent.

University of Michigan: Civil and Environmental Engineering
A student can begin the dual program with studies in either program.
However, because of the sequenced nature of the core courses in the
M.B.A. program, most students will find it advantageous to
concentrate on M.B.A. core courses in their first year of study and
combine construction engineering courses with business electives
during their second year. Further information on the dual degree
program is available from the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering and the School of Business Administration.
The College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Department
of Civil and Environmental Engineering offer a combined masters
degree program that permits qualified students to pursue concurrent
studies in architecture and construction engineering and
management. To be eligible for admission, a student must have a
B.S. degree in Architecture with at least a year of calculus and a year
of physics. A description of the combined degree program can be
found in the Bulletin of the College of Architecture and Urban
Planning.

University of Michigan: Classical Art and Archaeology
Doctor of Philosophy
Classical Art and Archaeology at the graduate level is offered as a
program leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; the Master of
Arts degree which is not normally terminal, but which is seen as
marking significant progress toward the Ph.D., can usually be earned
after four semesters in residence. A minimum of 30 hours are
required.
Admission: It is expected that applicants will have a B.A. or M.A.
degree in classics, classical archaeology or history (with specialization
in ancient history) or history of art (with specialization in ancient art).
In view of the language requirements of the program, preference will
normally be given to applicants who have already demonstrated
significant preparation in at least one of the required ancient
languages and one of the required modern foreign languages.
Applicants must submit a completed application, together with results
of the Graduate Record Examination and transcripts of all previous
academic records. Letters of recommendation are also required. A
writing sample is strongly encouraged.
Specific Course Requirements: Each student is required to take a
one-credit Proseminar in the Fall term of their first year. Students
must also take for credit at least one course from each of five areas:
Method and Theory in Art History, Archaeology, and Anthropology;
Near Eastern and Egyptian Art and Archaeology; Greek Art and
Archaeology; Etruscan, Hellenistic and Roman Art and Archaeology;
Prehistoric Art and Archaeology and/or Late Antique/Early Byzantine
Art and Archaeology. Students should normally complete their course
requirements during their first three years in the Program. A regular
course load of four courses per term is normally expected for full-time
students. Summers are reserved for independent study,
archaeological fieldwork, museum internships, or other relevant
professional experience.
Qualifying Examinations: A series of four examinations is designed
to test basic knowledge of the major monuments and scholarly trends
in various fields of Classical Archaeology. Students are required to
take exams in three out of the following four fields of art and
archaeology:
●
●
●
●
Aegean Prehistory and Greek Art and Archaeology
Etruscan, Roman, and Late Antique Archaeology
Near Eastern and Egyptian Art and Archaeology
Method and Theory in Anthropology, Archaeology, and Art
History
The scope of these examinations is very broad, with the intention of
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/classaa.html (3 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:01 PM]
University of Michigan: Classical Art and Archaeology
guaranteeing that students attain a minimum level of information on
which to base serious work at an early point in their graduate careers.
They may be taken as early as the end of the first year, but no later
than the end of the third year.
Ancient History Examination: All first-year students must pass a
written examination in Greek and Roman History, with sections
devoted to identifications, chronology, geographical knowledge, and
sources. The examination is based on a small group of set textbooks,
and is held immediately before the start of classes in the fall semester
each year.
Foreign Language Requirement: The student must show
competency in Greek, Latin, French, and German, normally by
passing written examinations. One language exam must be taken
each term until all four are passed.
Field, Museum and Teaching Opportunities: Interested students
have ample opportunity for fieldwork, and most students normally
spend at least one, and often more, summers in the field. University
of Michigan projects provide the training ground in field methods for
many of our students, but if appropriate, students are also
encouraged to participate in projects based at other institutions. The
collections and exhibitions of the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
provide students with the chance to gain museum experience by
volunteering for work with the collections, or by assisting in the
preparation of thematic exhibitions. Antiquities in the Kelsey Museum
include Greek, Roman, Near Eastern and Egyptian sculpture, painting,
pottery, architectural elements, seals, and gems; large collections of
Greek, Roman and Parthian coins; Roman and Islamic period glass
and textiles; and Latin and Greek inscriptions and ostraca. Students
in the program are eligible to apply for Graduate Student
Instructorships and Graderships in Classical Studies and History of
Art; students are encouraged to gain teaching experience while in
graduate school.
Preliminary Examinations: This final set of examinations is taken
only after students have
passed the qualifying exams in art and archaeology,
passed the exam in ancient history,
satisfied the language requirements,
satisfied all the course requirements, and
have no incomplete grades remaining on their record.
A student normally should take the Prelims no later than two terms
after completion of all prerequisites, and normally no later than the
end of their third year in the Program. The Preliminary Examinations
consist of two three-hour written exams on topics chosen by the
student. These exams are intended to test the student's ability to
analyze and synthesize specific related bodies of archaeological
material and to control relevant methodologies and bibliographies in
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/classaa.html (4 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:01 PM]
University of Michigan: Classical Art and Archaeology
depth. They are also meant to ease the often difficult transition from
organized course work to independent dissertation research.
Accordingly, students are urged to choose Prelim topics in areas and
methodologies useful to their own research interests. A Prelim
Committee of faculty members chosen by the student helps to
formulate an appropriate course of study and sets and grades the
exams.
Candidate Status: Once a student has passed the Preliminary
Examinations, the individual will be advanced to Candidacy for the
Ph.D. Candidacy requirements are described in the Requirements for
Achieving Candidacy section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
The Dissertation: Each student must submit a completed
Dissertation Proposal Form and dissertation prospectus to the
Program Committee by the end of the Fall or Winter term following
that in which Preliminary Examinations were passed. In order to
complete this form, the student will have had to form a dissertation
committee consisting of faculty interested in working with the student
on the proposed topic.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.
Certificate Program in Museum Studies
The Certificate in Museum Studies is offered in conjunction with or
after completion of the M.A. and is intended for students committed
to museum careers. For admissions information and Certificate
requirements see the degree information on the Museum Studies
Program webpage.
In addition to the specific requirements listed there, see the
Certificate Programs section of the Graduate Student Handbook.

Interdepartmental Degree Program
Master of Science
In addition to the specific requirements listed below, see the Master's
Degrees section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Master of Science
This program provides a means for physicians, dentists, pharmacists,
pharmacologists, and others who are involved in clinical research to
develop expertise in research design and statistical analysis
appropriate to such research while remaining in their existing
employment. Participants are faculty and researchers employed by
medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and nursing schools, teaching
hospitals, research institutes, and research divisions of
pharmaceutical and medical firms. Persons in a fellowship program
that involves research are also eligible. Many participants already
hold a doctoral degree. The program addresses two problems: (1) a
shortage of persons with clinical expertise who are trained in research

University of Michigan: Graduate Programs in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis (CRDSA)
methods; and (2) inadequacies in the design of clinical research. The
participants' work setting is their laboratory. While doing projects
related to their work, participants design and implement research
projects, review proposals, and critique literature in their fields.
Non-Residential Format: The program uses the On Job/On Campus
(OJ/OC) format employed successfully by the School of Public Health
since 1972. Participants meet in Ann Arbor for a four-day weekend
(Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) once every four to five
weeks. Eighteen weekends spread over 19 to 20 months are required.
Each weekend includes 28-30 hours of class time. Between sessions
participants do assignments and work projects.
Admission: A completed application, transcripts, C.V., graduate
school admission test scores (GRE or MCAT), and recommendations
must be on file. Applicants are required to be involved in research or
able to become involved in research (usually clinical studies, clinical
research, clinical epidemiology or clinical trials), have graduate
training in a clinical field, and have at least one year of college
mathematics. All students should be prepared at a level consistent
with completion of a basic, introductory statistics course before
enrollment. A new group of students is admitted and enrolled
approximately every 2 years.
Minimum Number of Credits Required: 35 credit hours.
Specific Course Requirements: Research Logic and Design: 14
credits; Statistical Methods: 17 credits; Supporting Knowledge and
Skills, e.g., legal and ethical concerns in research, writing skills: 4.0
credits.
Thesis or Research Essay: An integrated research plan including
specific aims, background and significance, design, methods,
logistical implementation and statistical analysis, and fiscal
requirements.
Final Examination: None.
The typical structure of coursework is as follows:
Biostat. 511. Computer Packages.
Biostat. 517. Survey Sampling for Clinical Research.
Biostat. 524. Biostatistics for Clinical Researchers.
Biostat. 558. Clinical Trials.

http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/complit.html (2 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:04 PM]
University of Michigan: Comparative Literature
The statement of purpose. The statement should be about 500 words
long and tell about the applicant's academic experience to date, his or
her reasons for wanting to do graduate work in Comparative
Literature at Michigan, and his or her eventual career expectations.
This statement should include an indication of the fields to be studied,
e.g., major: French; minor: Women's Studies.
Three letters of recommendation.
Two copies of transcripts from each college attended.
Two essays (e.g., papers written for courses), one in English and one
in another language.
Scores of the Graduate Record Exam (the General Test) are required
of all applicants. Scores of the Subject Tests in French, German,
Literature in English, or Spanish (when applicable to the applicant's
proposed major literature) are strongly recommended.
Most international students must demonstrate English proficiency by
taking the TOEFL or the MELAB. Please consult the Graduate School
admission application.
Students will be considered for all Program fellowships. Students may
also seek financial aid through any of the resources described under
"Financial Assistance" on the Application for Graduate Studies.
Students in Comparative Literature do not usually receive Graduate
Student Instructor appointments in the first year of study.
Comparative Literature does not offer a terminal Masters
Degree Program. Students receive a Master of Arts degree as they
pursue the Ph.D. They must have finished the following requirements:
Minimum Number of Credits Required: 30 credit hours.
Specific Course Requirements: A total minimum of 30 credit hours
distributed over the following areas: (1) the major field; (2) the
minor field; and (3) Comp. Lit. 600-601. A student normally
completes the A.M. in 3-4 terms.
Ph.D. Requirements:
Foreign Language Requirement: Knowledge of one foreign
language at the advanced level, and knowledge of a second foreign
language at the basic level is required. (English is not considered a
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/complit.html (3 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:04 PM]
University of Michigan: Comparative Literature
foreign language.)
Specific Course Requirement: Course work must include: Comp.
Lit. 600-601; four Comp. Lit. Seminars; and 8 courses distributed
according to two or three "fields," depending on the student's choice,
and in consultation with the Graduate Advisor and other faculty
mentors. A field might be defined as a traditional national literature,
but it might as easily be defined in terms of a specific period,
intellectual interest, generic issue, area study, or discipline. "Cultural
studies," "women's studies," "literature and other disciplines,"
"romanticism," "postcolonial studies," "gay and lesbian theory," "the
lyric," and "Russian" are a few of the ways a field might be defined.
For example, a Ph.D. could have emphases in women's studies and
cultural studies as well as in French literature of the nineteenth
century.
Foreign Language Requirement: A doctoral student in
Comparative Literature must demonstrate advanced reading
proficiency in two foreign languages. The foreign language
requirement must be met before the student completes the
preliminary examination.
Preliminary Examination and Topics Paper: There is one
preliminary examination in Genre followed by a Topics paper. Both
are designed to provide opportunities for the student to synthesize
course work and to formulate and possibly begin writing the
dissertation.
The Genre examination must be taken at the beginning of the
student's third year of graduate studies, no later than the middle of
September. A student who was admitted with the M.A. from
elsewhere must complete this exam by the beginning of the second
year of graduate studies. When the genre examination has been
passed, the student achieves candidacy.
The Topics paper must be completed by the end of the winter term of
the student's third year of graduate studies (second year for students
admitted with the M.A. from elsewhere).
The Dissertation Prospectus: The student, in consultation with the
program director or another advisor, chooses a dissertation subject
and prepares a prospectus for a supervisory committee. Then, there
is an informal prospectus presentation for the dissertation committee
and the student.
The dissertation committee advises the candidate as the researching
and writing of the dissertation progress and conducts the defense
when the dissertation is finished.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

Certificate Program
This interdisciplinary curriculum, leading to a graduate certificate in
complex systems, will introduce students to the ideas and methods used in
the study of complex, nonlinear and adaptive systems. The specific aim of
this curriculum is to allow students from different fields to integrate the
rich paradigms and useful analytic and modeling techniques of complex
systems into their own research.
The curriculum is designed to be accessible to students in a wide range of
disciplines in the physical, biological and social sciences. We anticipate
that many students in the certificate program will be simultaneously
enrolled in a graduate degree program at the University, although
inquiries from other students and scholars are also welcome.
Students must take five courses, including the Group A course, the Group
C course and at least one course from Group D. Within Group D students
with weaker mathematics backgrounds should take CMPLXSYS 510;
students with stronger math backgrounds should take CMPLXSYS 520 or
541. It is possible to replace the Group D course with an equivalent
advanced dynamical systems course or in very special circumstances to
replace the Group C course with an equivalent course, but every student
must take at least one of CMPLXSYS 510 or CMPLXSYS 530. The courses
in Group B represent the minimal programming and calculus background
required for the courses in Groups C and D; we anticipate that most
students will not need to take these courses. They do not count toward the
five courses in the certificate program.
Group A
CMPLXSYS 501: Basic Readings in Complex Systems
Group B
CMPLXSYS 531 (Short course): Basic Computing Skills for Programming
Agent-Based Models. This is a new, 1 credit course.
Math 413/SPP 513: Calculus for Social Science
Group C
CMPLXSYS 530: Computer Modeling of Complex Systems
Group D
CMPLXSYS 510/Math 550: Introduction to Dynamical Systems for Complex
Systems and the Life Sciences (revised and lengthened from its current
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/complex.html (2 of 3) [3/29/2006 1:53:06 PM]

format to include an introduction to material in CMPLXSYS 520 and 541.)
Phys 413/CMPLXSYS 541: Physics of Complexity
CMPLXSYS 520/Phys 580: Empirical Analysis of Nonlinear Systems
CMPLXSYS 535/Phys 508: Network Theory
Group E
Courses related to Complex Systems and approved for the certificate
program by the CSCS Director. The linked page here is a representative
list of such courses as offered in the 1999-2000 academic year.
Students enrolled in the certificate curriculum will also be encouraged to
participate in the research activities of the Center for the Study of
Complex Systems. CSCS is an interdisciplinary program which sponsors
research groups and activities in a broad range of fields. Current research
groups include those in Bioeconomics, Growth phenomena, Nonlinear time
series analysis, Public Choice, and Epidemiology, among others.

educational problems related to:
●
●
●
●
Human development in context of schools, families and
communities
Cognitive and learning sciences
Motivation and self-regulated learning
Culture, ethnicity, social and class influences on learning and
motivation
The program provides a forum where a diverse set of faculty with
common interests in schooling can collaborate on training students. It
also provides a vehicle for exploiting the rich resources of the
University by providing an interdisciplinary avenue for faculty to come
together under the auspices of two departments. Faculty affiliated
with the Program have ongoing research programs on a variety of
issues concerning instructional psychology. Students in the Combined
Program work with faculty on these research projects and design
projects in their own areas of interest. Since the Combined Program
is an independent interdepartmental unit, students have the unique
opportunity of working with faculty in both the Department of
Psychology and the School of Education.
Graduates are trained for teaching and research careers in academic
and non-academic settings such as state and national agencies that
deal with educational policy and practices.
Admission: A bachelor's degree normally including 15 hours either in
psychology or education; Graduate Records Examination scores are
required. Aptitude and Advanced in psychology Graduate Records

students enroll in the program seminar Educ. 800/Psych. 861.
Anytime after the second year students are required to attend a
topics and issues seminar, and a course on professional socialization
in the field. During the first two years, students are expected to
initiate and complete an original research project. When students
complete the basic academic core, the research project, the additional
course work related to their career programs and two candidacy
papers, a portfolio, and an oral candidacy review, they are eligible to
be recommended for admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. The
recommendation is made by the Executive Committee of the program
and normally takes place at the beginning the third graduate year.
Specific Course Requirements: All students are expected to
develop a basic knowledge in the fields of education, educational
psychology, and psychology as foundational or core requirements and
then select additional advanced courses. For the foundational core, a

requirement by completing one year of graduate statistics courses. In
addition, one course in methods of research such as Methods of
Classroom Research (Educ. 730), Psych. 786, or an ISR course on
survey research is required.
Pre-candidacy Research Project: Students must demonstrate
competence in the actual design and execution of a research project.
They must use the logical deductive method, hypothesis formulation,
and develop operational definitions data collection, analysis, and
interpretation. Course credit for the effort on the research project

Doctor of Philosophy
In addition to the specific requirements listed below, see the Doctoral
Degrees section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission:
An undergraduate record demonstrating strong preparation in
English, with a grade point average indicating the ability and habits
necessary to perform at a satisfactory level in graduate study at the
University of Michigan.
Master's degree in English or in Education.
References: three letters of recommendation, at least two of these
from persons qualified to predict the applicant's prospective success
at the doctoral level. (Such persons might be professors associated
with the student's graduate study, administrators from an institution
where the applicant has taught, or other persons familiar with
graduate standards.)
Appropriate work and teaching experience with young people, in and
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/eng%26ed.html (2 of 3) [3/29/2006 1:53:11 PM]

out of school settings.
A clear and carefully considered statement of the applicant's
academic and career interests, specifying reasons for wanting to
enter this particular curriculum.
A 10-20 page writing sample that demonstrates the applicant's
scholarly capacities.
GRE scores from a general exam taken within five years of the
application deadline.
Course Requirements: Students are required to take a minimum of
four to six graduate courses each in English and in education. In
consultation with the program chair, students develop a program of
study designed to address their intellectual interests and to prepare
them for examinations and the dissertation.
Examinations: Students take three major examinations, prior to
achieving candidacy. Documents available in the Program Office
provide more detailed explanations of each examination along with a
timeline for completion. The Special Topic Examination is based on a
reading list that the student develops in consultation with two faculty
members selected for their expertise in the given area. This long
paper, based on a specific area of interest, should provide evidence of
the student's capacity to do independent scholarly research. The
Theorization of Learning Examination, which is completed after the
student has taken several courses in both English and education,
requires a critical reading of the student's learning experiences during
the first two years of graduate study. In the Prospectus Examination,
the student defines the subject and approach planned for the

Interdepartmental Degree Program
Doctor of Philosophy
The interdepartmental doctoral programs in Women's Studies and
English is designed to serve students whose interests are not well
represented by an exclusively disciplinary program. Such students
need conceptual and methodological tools that are grounded in the
interdisciplinary perspective of the Women's Studies Program.
In the interdepartmental doctoral program, students have the
opportunity to work out an interdisciplinary approach to a research
problem from an early point in training, with a faculty committee that
can provide shaping direction. They benefit from the kind of
interdisciplinary mentorship that is necessary to develop and
complete an interdisciplinary dissertation.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: Any student with a bachelor's degree, including those
already enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Michigan,
are eligible to apply. Applicants should have demonstrated academic
excellence and should have prior experience in Women's Studies.
Admitted students will be expected to participate actively in both of
the academic programs with which they are associated.
The Doctoral Program Committee of the Women's Studies Program
will take responsibility for the initial screening of applications. Likely
candidates will be sent to the English Department, where they will be
considered for admission. Offers of admission to the
interdepartmental program are only made after both units have
granted their approval.
Course Requirements: There are separate course requirements for
Women's Studies and English.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/womensteng.html (3 of 7) [3/29/2006 1:53:13 PM]
University of Michigan: English and Women's Studies
Women's Studies:
Joint doctoral students take four required courses in Women's
Studies:
1. Women's Studies 501: Proseminar in Women's Studies (1 credit)
2.One course in feminist theory. Theory courses that fulfill this
requirement include Theories of Feminism (530)--the course most
commonly taken to fulfill this requirement; Feminist Cultural Theory;
Feminist Political Theory; Lesbian Theory.
Theories of Feminism (530) provides an interdisciplinary exploration
of various schools of feminist thought. Specific content varies,
depending on the particular interests of the instructor. Recent courses
have included examples of classic and less well-known theoretical
texts; comparison of themes current in the humanities and social
sciences; challenges to "traditional" feminist theory from women of
color. Courses in feminist cultural or political theory are alternatives
for students with strong undergraduate backgrounds in feminist
theory.
3.Approaches to Feminist Scholarship in the Humanities (601) or
Approaches to Feminist Scholarship on Women of Color (603).
The Approaches to Feminist Scholarship courses are designed to
examine various theoretical, substantive and methodological issues in
feminist scholarship in relation to the paradigms of traditional
disciplines.
4.WS 891 Advanced Research.
WS891 brings students and faculty together both to discuss issues in
interdisciplinary feminist scholarship, and to support students'
development of their own interdisciplinary research projects.
In addition to these core courses, joint doctoral students take 9
additional hours of graduate coursework, chosen from among
Women's Studies offerings and cross-listed courses provided by other
departments.
At least one of these courses must be an interdisciplinary Women's
Studies course and must include substantial coverage of theoretical
issues.
English:
Core courses (9 credits):
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/womensteng.html (4 of 7) [3/29/2006 1:53:13 PM]
University of Michigan: English and Women's Studies
1. Introduction to Graduate Studies (3 credits).
2. Theory course (3 credits) The theory course (Theories of Feminism
WS530 or WS698 Feminist Cultural Theories or other appropriate
theory course) required in the Women's Studies core serves as an
English core course as well.
3. Approaches to Feminist Scholarship in Humanities 601 (3 credits)
This requirement in the Women's Studies core serves as an English
core course as well.
Four advanced seminars at 800 level (12 hours):
WS891 can serve as one of these advanced seminars, as can any
other appropriate advanced seminar offered in WS.
Cognates (6 credit hours):
Some of the required Women's Studies courses can be treated by
English as cognates.
Language Requirement: The English Department requires students
to demonstrate competency in one advanced or two basic languages.
Course sequence: The exact course sequence will be worked out for
each student on an individual basis, but in general it is expected that
students will complete the following courses early on:
●
●
●
Proseminar in English
Theories of Feminism
Approaches to Feminist Scholarship in Humanities
It is generally expected that English doctoral students will advance to
candidacy after the fourth term of coursework. Students advance to
candidacy with the following requirements completed: one advanced
or two basic languages; two 800-level seminars; Introduction to
Graduate Studies; and 36 Rackham Fee Totals.
Student Reviews: There is a Third Term Review for all graduate
students in the English Department. In the third term a special fourperson panel will be created to review students in the joint program.
This panel will include two faculty members from English, and two
with appointments in Women's Studies (one also appointed in English
and one not). Passing the Third Term Review (see below) permits a
student to advance to candidacy. (Any recommendation to terminate
a joint program student must be approved both by the English
Department Graduate Committee and the Interdisciplinary Program
Committee.)
One member of the Interdisciplinary Program committee, or the
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/womensteng.html (5 of 7) [3/29/2006 1:53:13 PM]
University of Michigan: English and Women's Studies
student's advisor in the joint program, will participate in any English
Department review of the student's progress. Similarly, at least one
English Department faculty member will participate in any Women's
Studies review of the student's progress.
Candidacy: Candidacy is achieved when students have completed
the requirements for advancement to candidacy of the English
Department: completion of the Third Year Review; completion of 36
Rackham Fee Totals; completion of two 800 level seminars;
fulfillment of the language requirement. Both of the cooperating units
aim to ensure that students make timely progress to candidacy -typically by the beginning of their third year. Ordinarily, students
advancing to candidacy should have a developed dissertation topic
and a committee.
Preliminary Examination: The prelim has two parts:
Women's Studies:
The preliminary in Women' Studies is based on research completed in
the research seminar WS891. Students are encouraged, wherever
possible, to build on the work begun in their first year in the required
courses on Feminist Theory (WS530) and Approaches to Feminist
Scholarship (WS601/2/3).
The student will prepare a seminar paper for WS891 and defend that
revised paper in an oral exam to the prelim committee. The prelim
committee should include at least one member from Women's Studies
not also appointed from the English Department, and one from the
English Department not also appointed in Women's Studies.
English:
The Women's Studies prelim will serve as one of two field exams
required by the English Department. The second field will be covered
in a 72-hour take home exam. This second list should represent a
broadening of the student's professional and intellectual interests and
not duplicate or resemble too closely the first field. Finally, the
student will have an oral exam in English to establish a special inquiry
list leading to a dissertation topic, as well as any questions arising out
of the primary fields. One person from the Women's Studies
committee will also serve as a member of the English exam
committee and at least one member of the Women's Studies
preliminary committee will be from English. The net effect of this
committee arrangement might be a single committee for both
prelims, with four members. This exam structure should not interfere
with students' achieving candidacy by the beginning of the third year,
on the basis of the first exam (based on WS891), as well as the ThirdYear Review.
Dissertation: Like the prelim committee, the doctoral committee
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/womensteng.html (6 of 7) [3/29/2006 1:53:13 PM]
University of Michigan: English and Women's Studies
must be approved by the Doctoral Program Committee and must
include at least one faculty member appointed in Women's Studies
and not English; one appointed in English and not Women's Studies;
and up to two who are jointly appointed. A dissertation prospectus
must be formally presented to and approved by the committee.
Advising: Each doctoral student in the joint program is assigned to a
faculty member with an affiliation both with the Women's Studies
Program and the student's other department. By the time the student
reaches prelims, a full committee is monitoring the student's progress
through candidacy and the dissertation. The Doctoral Program
Committee reviews each student's progress once a year, paying
special attention to the coordination between the Women's Studies
requirements and the other departmental requirements. A report on
each student's progress is requested both from the advisor and the
student. Because at least one faculty member on a student's
dissertation committee shares the student's two affiliations (Women's
Studies and a disciplinary department), integration and coordination
should be relatively smooth.
Funding and Teaching Obligations: Women's Studies guarantees
the equivalent of one full year of teaching assistantships for each
student enrolled in the joint doctoral program, to provide experience
teaching within an interdisciplinary context. It is possible that
individual students will qualify for additional GSI-ships (for new
undergraduate courses assigned GSI through the faculty) or research
assistantships with Program faculty. In addition, students will be
eligible for all sources of graduate support on an equal footing with
other doctoral students in English.
Typically, funded students in the English Department teach during
their second and third years. Teaching assistants in the second year
generally lead discussion sections in large lecture courses. In the
third year, they usually teach an independent section of an
introductory writing course each term. In subsequent years they
generally teach one of a variety of courses in literature, writing, and
Women's Studies. Students will complete GSI training wherever they
first teach.

The Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing is a 36-hour program,
completed within two academic years. Students elect a total of 24
workshop hours and through them form a community of writers.
Besides doing their own writing, they read and comment on each
other's work. Study culminates in an MFA Project, a collection of
poems or short stories or a part of a novel. Most MFA students teach
undergraduate creative writing courses during their second year in
the program.
Admission: Rackham application, statement of purpose, transcripts,
three letters of recommendation, and a writing sample.
Specific Course Requirements: Four semesters of workshops and
nine hours of literature or literary criticism at the graduate level,
three hours of cognate coursework at the graduate level.

language equivalent to two years of good college-level instruction,
completed by coursework at Michigan or by departmental
examination.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: The department primarily offers direct admission to the
doctoral program to those holding a bachelor's degree, but also
considers applications from those with a Master's degree in English
for admission. Three letters of recommendation are required. The
department requires that applicants take the Graduate Record
Examination Aptitude Test and the GRE Subject Test and submit a
sample of critical writing. Applicants must present a distinguished
academic record with a well-balanced program of study in English and
American literature, including a strong range in period and genre.

also desirable. Evidence that the applicant can satisfy the foreign
language requirement in the first two years of the doctoral program is
necessary for admission.
Foreign Language Requirement: One language at an advanced
level, or two languages at a basic level; both must be satisfied by
coursework or departmental examination in the first two years of the
doctoral program. Basic reading ability is equivalent to two years of
good college-level instruction; advanced includes literary competence.
For details, contact the graduate program office.
Specific Course Requirements: Introduction to Graduate Studies,
in the first year; at least four upper-level seminars, elected in
consultation with the student's advisor; and six hours of cognate
coursework at the graduate level. No other specific coursework is
required, but students are expected to devote the first year to a
broad, well-balanced coverage of the discipline. Subsequent
coursework in the second and third years should be directed primarily
toward the student's special areas of interest.
Third-Term Review: In the first term of the second year, each
student's career will be reviewed to provide direction, counseling, and
an early professional orientation. If the review is favorable, the
Graduate Committee will recommend that the student continue to

Environmental health is concerned with the health effects in people
that can arise from exposures to potentially harmful agentschemical, biological, physical or even behavioral-in their
environments. It is therefore an essential component of public health,
a broad multi- and interdisciplinary field that embraces all of the
primary physical and life sciences. The mission of the Department is
to provide outstanding scholarship in environmental health through
its academic programs in air, water and soil quality, risk assessment,
hazardous waste and materials, industrial hygiene, occupational
medicine, human nutrition, and environmental toxicology.
Students who desire professional training with a broader emphasis on
public health should consider enrolling in the professional programs
leading to the Master of Public Health and Doctor of Public Health
(Dr.P.H.) degrees. Requirements for these degrees are described in
the brochures of the School of Public Health.

The Geoscience and Remote Sensing Graduate Program leads to a
combined Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and in
Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences, or to a Doctor of
Philosophy degree with combined specialties in Electrical Engineering
and in Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences.
All students in the Program choose one of three sub-fields: Electrical
Engineering, Atmospheric and Space Sciences, or Physical
Oceanography. Those who choose the electrical engineering sub-field
will take at least 50% of their courses in the EECS Department. These
who choose either Atmospheric and Space Sciences or Physical
Oceanography will take at least 50% of their courses in the AOSS
Department.
Course Requirements: At the core of both the M.S. and the Ph.D.
academic plans are four graduate level courses:
one in interactions among atmosphere, ocean and land (AOSS 475),
one in Remote Sensing and Inversion Theory (AOSS 585), and
two in the underpinnings of remote sensing science-EM Theory (EECS
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/georem.html (2 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:53:19 PM]
University of Michigan: Geoscience and Remote Sensing
530) and Probability and Random Processes (EECS 501).
In addition, each individual academic plan will include courses from
the approved list of sub-specialties, or from general EECS/AOSS
course offerings. Each student's academic plan is subject to Program
Advisor approval.
Each M.S. student will complete an academic program of 30 credits
based upon the 4 core courses, 1 math course, 1 directed study or
thesis course, 2 or more sub-specialty courses from the student's subfield department, and 1 or more sub-specialty courses from the other
department. Each Ph.D. student will complete the requirements for an
M.S. degree and elect 3 additional sub-specialty courses, one from
each department, one additional math course, and complete a Ph.D.
dissertation.
Each Ph.D. student will complete an academic program of 42 credits
based upon the 32 credit M.S. program plus 12 credits which include
a math course, 2 sub-specialty courses from the sub-field
department, 1 sub-specialty course from the other department and 1
unspecified graduate level technical course.
Qualification Exams: Each first year Ph.D. student must pass a 4hour, open book, written Qualification Exam given in May for students
who began their graduate studies in the fall, or in December for
students who began in January. The Exam will be designed to test the
student's integrated understanding of material covered during the
first year.
Preliminary Exams: Preliminary Exams will be offered each May.
These will be 2-hour, oral exams that cover the student's research
program. Each student will be expected to take this exam at the first
opportunity following completion of required academic course work.
In general, a student who began graduate work in the fall will take
this exam in May of the second year. Upon successfully completing
the Preliminary Exam, the student will become a doctoral candidate
and the emphasis within the student's program shifts from mastering
academic material to completion of the doctoral research and
dissertation.
Dissertation: Requirements are the same as for the Atmospheric,
Oceanic and Space Science department and Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science department except that at least one member of the
dissertation committee must be from each of the two departments
conducting the program.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

University of Michigan: Germanic Languages and Literatures
Students earn M.A.s as they progress towards the Ph.D., but there is
no freestanding M.A. program, and the Department normally does not
admit students who wish to earn only an M.A. The Rackham School of
Graduate Studies stipulates that six of the 24 credit hours required
for the M.A. be taken in cognate fields; this requirement obviously fits
well with the interdisciplinary tenor of our own graduate programs.
Doctor of Philosophy
Doctoral students select a minimum of 45 hours of graduate course
work (including the two-semester introductory sequence in German
Studies) during their first three years in the program, including three
hours of course 990 during the sixth term in preparation for their
preliminary examinations.
In order to maximize possibilities for an individually tailored
curriculum, we have decided to limit the number of required courses.
The required courses are:
1. German 540: Introduction to German Studies, which must be
taken in the Fall term of the first year, and
2. The German Studies Colloquium, which students must take in
the Winter of the first year (although they are strongly
encouraged to continue taking the Colloquium throughout their
graduate careers).
German 540 introduces students to the central theoretical and
methodological debates in the discipline of German Studies. The
German Studies Colloquium serves multiple goals:
1. as a site of interdisciplinary practice and debate;
2. an opportunity for students to revise a seminar paper in the
context of the first year review;
3. a forum in which more advanced students can present
conference papers and dissertation chapters; and
4. a framework within which students can explore and prepare
presentations on specific topics directly related to conferences
and workshops sponsored by the German Studies program.
Please note that all GSIs who have not taken an equivalent course
elsewhere are required to take our course in language pedagogy,
German 531: Teaching Methods, as part of the course program.
Given the great flexibility of our program and the wide array of topics
available in regular seminars, we strongly discourage students from
taking independent studies, and allow no more than one to count as
part of the degree program.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/german.html (3 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:20 PM]
University of Michigan: Germanic Languages and Literatures
All students are strongly encouraged to take two courses covering
periods prior to 1900.
We have established multi-layered mentoring procedures that help
students to assemble a coherent series of courses and focus their
research agendas. Incoming students work with the Graduate Advisor
in their first year to plan their program of courses. Each incoming
student is also assigned his or her own mentor.
At the end of the first year, each student undergoes a first year
review. The review is based upon a thoroughly revised seminar
paper; an oral examination on a negotiated reading list; a five-page
statement prepared by the student discussing work in the first year
and projecting both future course work and prelims; and a discussion
among the graduate faculty of the student's work in seminars. This
first year review is conducted by the graduate advisor and one
additional faculty member of the student's choice. Perceived
strengths and weaknesses will be brought to the attention of the
student. In rare instances, weak students will be counseled out of the
program.
In the plan for future work and prelims prepared for the first year
review, students are expected to identify two or three of the seven
thematic clusters that lie at the heart of our German Studies
program:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Citizenship, State, and Nation
Literary Theory, Aesthetics, and Philosophy
Social Theory/Social Studies
Film, Visual Culture, and Architecture
Psychoanalysis and Culture
Genders, Bodies, Sexualities
Colonialisms, Migrations, and Minority Culture
These clusters are not linked to specific requirements. Instead, they
function as guiding categories in the structuring of students'
programs.
Thereafter, students work with a faculty advisory committee
consisting of two faculty members chosen by the graduate faculty in
consultation with the student. The advisory committee meets with
students at the beginning of each semester to discuss their
coursework and progress towards prelims. Until candidacy has been
achieved, the graduate advisor also meets with students regularly to
ensure that they take exams on schedule and that they assemble
appropriate prelim committees.
The advisory committee assists students in conceiving and carrying
out a course of study that balances interdisciplinary inquiry with the
appropriate disciplinary depth (including consulting with students
regarding their selection of courses inside and outside the
department, and useful contacts with faculty in other departments).
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/german.html (4 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:20 PM]
University of Michigan: Germanic Languages and Literatures
The committee also advises students on issues of professional
preparation and teaching opportunities. Advisory committee members
participate in students' M.A. exams, preliminary examination, and
doctoral dissertation committees.
At the beginning of the sixth term, each student forms a preliminary
examination committee of three members in consultation with his or
her advisory committee. The preliminary examination committee may
include members from the advisory committee, and it will normally
become the core of the student's five-member dissertation
committee. The student should at this point designate one of the
three members as the committee chair.
The preliminary exam must be taken by the end of the third year. It
consists of two written examinations based on two distinct reading
lists devised by the student and approved by the committee. One of
the exams and reading lists focuses on the topic that the student
expects to be the subject of his or her dissertation; the second exam
and list focuses on a distinct aspect of that topic. Both reading lists
must be introduced by a concise statement describing their rationale.
Students have ten days to complete the two-part exam. They then
meet with the prelim committee for a two-hour defense of their
written exams.
The student will advance to candidacy if the committee determines
that he or she has passed the preliminary examination, and provided
that all incompletes have been removed. If the committee determines
that the student has not passed the preliminary examination, the
committee may offer the student an opportunity to retake the exam.
If no such opportunity is offered, or if the student fails the second
exam, he or she will be asked to leave the graduate program.
By the end of the first semester after the preliminary examination,
students must present a dissertation prospectus to their preliminary
examination committee. The student also submits a bibliography, and
a detailed schedule for the researching and writing of the dissertation.
The chair of the committee submits a brief summary of this review
session, which will be made available to the student.
The final requirement for receipt of the Ph.D. is a successful oral
defense of the finished dissertation.

Degree Programs
Ph.D. Program in Women's Studies and History
Women's Studies Course Requirements
Joint doctoral students take four required courses in Women's
Studies:
1. Women's Studies 501: Proseminar in Women's Studies (1
credit)
2. One course in feminist theory. Theory courses that fulfill this
requirement include Theories of Feminism (530)--the course
most commonly taken to fulfill this requirement; Feminist
Cultural Theory; Feminist Political Theory; Lesbian Theory.
Theories of Feminism (530) provides an interdisciplinary
exploration of various schools of feminist thought. Specific
content varies, depending on the particular interests of the
instructor. Recent courses have included examples of classic
and less well-known theoretical texts; comparison of themes
current in the humanities and social sciences; challenges to
"traditional" feminist theory from women of color. Courses in
feminist cultural or political theory are alternatives for
students with strong undergraduate backgrounds in feminist
theory.
3. Approaches to Feminist Scholarship in the Humanities (601) or
Approaches to Feminist Scholarship on Women of Color (603).
The Approaches to Feminist Scholarship courses are designed
to examine various theoretical, substantive and
methodological issues in feminist scholarship in relation to the
paradigms of traditional disciplines.
4. WS 891 Advanced Research.
WS891 brings students and faculty together both to discuss
issues in interdisciplinary feminist scholarship, and to support
students' development of their own interdisciplinary research
projects.
In addition to these core courses, joint doctoral students take
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/womenhistory.html (3 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:53:24 PM]
University of Michigan: History and Women's Studies
9 additional hours of graduate coursework, chosen from
among Women's Studies offerings and cross-listed courses
provided by other departments.
At least one of these courses must be an interdisciplinary
Women's Studies course and must include substantial
coverage of theoretical issues.
History Course Requirements
PhD students in Women's Studies & History, apart from students
specializing in American history, take three core courses (9 credits) in
History:
●
●
History 600: History proseminar
Two 700-level seminars (WS 891 may be substituted for one
of these required courses - consult your advisor and the
Graduate Chairs in both WS and History)
Students in American history must also take:
●
1 additional 600-level History course
Joint students in Women's Studies & History are also required to
take:
●
2 cognate courses (required or elective Women's Studies
courses can be treated as cognates by the History
department)
Fourth Semester Reviews
Reviews of the student's progress will normally take place in the
fourth semester, or in the third semester if the student enters the
program with a Master's. One member of the Interdepartmental
Program Committee, or the student's advisor in the joint program,
will participate in any History department review.
Preliminary Exams in History
Students will be required to pass three preliminary exams in the
following areas or with the following focus:
1. An exam on a geographic/chronological field (eg. Modern
France, colonial to mid-19th century U.S., etc.).
2. An exam with a regional/comparative focus.
3. An exam in gender/women's history with substantial focus on
theory, and the links between theory and an historical context.

University of Michigan: History and Women's Studies
Candidacy
Candidacy is achieved when students have completed 36 graduate
credits, including the required courses in Women's Studies (530, 601
or 602 or 603, and 3 additional courses), the required courses in
History (one or two 600-level seminars, and two 700-level seminars),
two cognates, the language requirement, and the preliminary exams
in History. Courses that are cross-listed in Women's Studies and
History may be used to fulfill both requirements, and required or
elective Women's Studies courses that are not cross-listed in History
may be used to fulfill the cognate requirement in History. Students
advance to candidacy by the end of their third year. Ordinarily,
students advancing to candidacy should have developed a
dissertation topic and a committee. WS 891 is not required for
candidacy, although students will normally have completed it by the
end of their third year. However, it cannot be counted towards the 3
additional required courses in Women's Studies.

http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/histart.html (2 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:53:24 PM]
University of Michigan: History of Art
In addition to the specific requirements listed below, see the Master's
Degrees and Doctoral Degrees section of the Graduate Student
Handbook.
The Doctor of Philosophy degree programs in the History of Art are
described in detail in the Graduate Studies Handbook issued annually
by the Department. Applicants for admission to any program are
urged to obtain a copy of that Handbook well in advance of making
formal application (write to the Graduate Secretary, Department of
History of Art, The University of Michigan, 110 Tappan Hall, 519 S.
State Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1357). The following
descriptions of graduate programs are abbreviated versions of the
material in the Departmental Graduate Studies Handbook; additional
information and current requirements are contained within.
Master of Arts
The Michigan graduate program is a direct-admit Ph.D. program; we
admit only those students who are judged to be of Ph.D. caliber and
who intend to complete the doctorate. Students may have already
completed a master's in art history elsewhere; students who have not
are awarded the M.A. degree upon successful completion of the
following requirements:
Minimum Number of Credit Hours: A minimum of thirty credits of
approved coursework at the graduate level. Of these credits, at least
24 must be in the History of Art.
Cognate Courses: Two three-credit cognate courses in related
disciplines (e.g., anthropology, history, literature, musicology,
philosophy) at the graduate level.
Foreign Language Requirement: Demonstration of reading
proficiency through departmental examination or approved
coursework in at least one relevant, approved research language.
Research Essay: Approval by the Graduate Committee of a formal
research paper normally written under the supervision of a faculty
member as part of regular coursework.
It is expected that the student will complete the M.A. degree within
two years. A student who is required to do extra coursework or
language preparation (beyond intensive language study during
summers) may routinely take up to three years to complete the M.A.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/histart.html (3 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:53:24 PM]
University of Michigan: History of Art
Doctor of Philosophy
The doctorate is awarded in recognition of significant art historical
training and expertise gained in a specific area within the discipline
and demonstrated in a dissertation which makes an original
contribution to the literature of the field. Students entering without a
prior M.A. degree are required to post the M.A. before receiving the
Ph.D. Students entering with a prior M.A. need not complete the 30
credit hours of coursework in History of Art but must complete all
other requirements for the M.A. before advancing to candidacy.
In order to receive the Ph.D. students must also:
●
●
●
●
●
Demonstrate reading proficiency in at least two relevant
research languages,
Pass a preliminary examination,
Constitute a Dissertation Committee,
Present a dissertation prospectus to the Dissertation
Committee for approval, and
Complete and defend a satisfactory dissertation.
Once students have completed all requirements except the
dissertation prospectus and dissertation, they achieve candidacy
status. For further information on candidacy, see the Requirements
for Achieving Candidacy section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

Rackham Dual Degree Program
The School of Business Administration and the Department of
Industrial and Operations Engineering offer a dual degree program
enabling a small number of qualified students to pursue concurrent
studies in business administration and industrial and operations
engineering leading to the M.B.A. and M.S.(IOE) degrees. The
program is designed so that all the requirements for both degrees can
be completed in two and one half years of enrollment (65 credit
hours). A student can begin the dual program with studies in either
program. However, because of the sequenced nature of the core
courses in the M.B.A. program, most students will find it
advantageous to begin the first year in the School of Business
Administration. During the second and third year, courses may be
taken in both programs. Students who wish to begin their studies in
Industrial and Operations Engineering should consult a counselor in
the School of Business Administration to develop an appropriate plan
of study. A student interested in the dual program must apply and be
admitted to both programs by submitting the application forms for
each program and indicating that he or she is applying to the dual
program. The application fee may be paid to either program,
however, the disposition of the fee should be noted on the application
to the program not receiving the fee. The dual degree program is not
open to persons who have earned M.B.A. or M.S.(IOE) degrees.
However, students registered in the first year in either program may
apply. Further detailed information on the requirements are available
from the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering and
the School of Business Administration. The degrees are
simultaneously conferred.

transformed business, and many schools are engaged in developing
programs in electronic commerce, which include courses in
information economics, information ethics and policy, systems
analysis and design, the management of technology resources,
knowledge management, and development of complex web sites, all
adding to the traditional offerings in business. At Michigan, the
existence of both the first rate Business School and the pioneering
curriculum of the School of Information make the formation of this
curriculum natural. Students wishing to show the depth of their
training in both disciplines will elect a dual degree, culminating in the
MBA and the MSI. The program is arranged so that all requirements
for both degrees can be completed in six terms of enrollment. Click

Dual Degree in Law and Information
(JD/MSI)
This dual degree program is one of only a few of its type offered by
comparable educational institutions. Although the applications of this
new dual degree are numerous, the program will be most desirable to
those wishing to develop expertise in the field of intellectual property
(IP) as it relates to cyberspace and other technological advances.
Career opportunities for students who complete the program can be
found in both the public and private sector, from the U.S. Justice
Department to the "boutique" IP firms across the nation. Those
planning a career in library science or information services will also
find this program of special interest. Click here for detailed program

decade previous to application for admission.
Guide for Applicants to the M. A. in Judaic Studies
Taking advantage of our large faculty and substantial library holdings,
the program provides a broad, balanced advanced education in Judaic
Studies while allowing students to concentrate to some degree on one
of the following areas:
●
●
●
●
●
●
Comparative Jewish literatures (Hebrew, Yiddish, Germanic,
Slavic, Anglo-American)
Contemporary Jewish affairs (United States, Israel, former
Soviet Union and Eastern Europe)
Hebrew studies (language, literature, culture)
History (ancient, medieval and modern Jewish history)
Rabbinics and Jewish thought (ancient, medieval, modern)
Yiddish studies (language, literature, culture)
Program Description
The program builds on existing courses or modifications thereof and
adds a modest number of courses, subject to the approval of the
departments concerned. All entering students are required to
demonstrate fourth semester proficiency in Hebrew or Yiddish and,
upon graduation, sixth semester proficiency. A total of 30 credits is
required for the MA, and either a thesis or a substantial seminar
paper are required.
Students are required to take two cognate courses, to be
determined by their area of interest and in consultation with the
graduate advisor. For example, a student concentrating in
contemporary Jewish affairs might take Political Science 643
(ethnicity and politics), Political Science 653 (Middle East politics),
Sociology 650 (political sociology) or Public Policy 580 (values, ethics
and public policy).
All students are required to take the following four courses:
History: a 400 level course, e.g., 406 (The Church and the Jews),
407 (Jews in Spain), 435 (Jews in Eastern Europe) or History 628
(Studies in Jewish History); those who have not had survey courses
in Jewish history are required to take them and are required to do
work additional to that required of the undergraduates.
Judaic Studies 467/HJCS577/Religion 471: (Jewish Life in Late
Antiquity). A seminar dealing with Jewish life from 70-429 CE and
based largely on rabbinic literature. This will familiarize the student
with basic classic texts dealing with such issues as Jewish family and
community, Judaism and Christianity, leadership and scholarship in
the Jewish tradition.
Near East Studies: Either 542 (Literature of the Hebrew Bible) or
543 (The Bible in Jewish Tradition). The Bible is the literary and
historical foundation of Judaism and the Jewish people.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/judaicst.html (3 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:29 PM]

Core Seminar in Judaic Studies (number to be assigned): The
focus will be on the major issues, approaches, and works in the areas
of Judaic studies (Bible, rabbinics, history, comparative literature,
Jewish thought, contemporary Jewish communities, etc.). There will
be 13 sessions, 2 hours each. Requirements may include one essay
on a sub-field outside the student's concentration, and a research
proposal outline in the student's sub-field.
In the extraordinary case of a student with an exceptionally strong
academic record and GRE scores, but who lacks sufficient background
in Judaic Studies, the student could be admitted but would be
required to take Judaic Studies 505 (Introduction to Jewish
Civilization and Cultures).
Elective courses, arranged by module, include:

literature; 592-seminar in Hebrew and Jewish cultural studies);

553 (Jewish literature in America); English 417 (Three Yiddish classic
writers); or Judaic Studies 317 (independent study course of readings
in Yiddish literature); German 482/History 656 (German-Jewish
Identities and Culture); Slavic Literatures (course to be determined
upon appointment of faculty).

Sociology 410 (American Jewish community), Political Science
351(Israeli society and politics), Political Science 652 (Jewish Political
Thought and Experiences); Social Work 600 and 645 (American
Jewish community; contemporary issues in Jewish communities in US

history).

Thought); Near East 478/Religion 469/Judaic Studies 468 (Jewish
Mysticism); other courses in rabbinic literature that will be developed
in the next two years.

English 417 (Three Yiddish classic writers]; or Judaic Studies 317
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/judaicst.html (4 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:29 PM]
University of Michigan: Judaic Studies
(independent study course of readings in Yiddish literature); Political
Science 350(Politics and Culture of Modern East European Jewry);
History 435 (Jews in Eastern Europe).
Students will not necessarily concentrate in a specific module. As long
as they take the three required courses, they may choose any of the
other courses offered. This includes courses offered by our Padnos
Visiting Professor in Judaic Studies, an annual visitor for one
semester, whose fields have ranged from history to film and video,
Anglo-Jewish literature to Israeli politics, etc. For a student
concentrating in a module-for example, in comparative Jewish
literatures-the program of courses might look like this:
●
●
●
The required three courses (History, Judaic Studies, Near
East)
Five courses from Hebrew, Yiddish, English, German or Slavic
literatures
Two cognate courses. For example, English 521 (history of
literary theory), English 522 (history of literary criticism),
English 527 (contemporary critical theory), courses in Jewish
history or the history of Germany, Russia, Eastern Europe
There will be no field work, work experience, internship or similar
requirements.

University of Michigan: Graduate Programs in Natural Resources and Environment
Master of Science
Within the Master of Science Degree program are three options for
specialization: Resource Policy and Behavior, Resource Ecology and
Management, and Sustainable Systems.
Resource Policy and Behavior Plan (Plan Code 8040MS)
The Resource Policy and Behavior (RPB) plan covers the sociobehavioral aspects of natural resource and environmental issues. It
educates students to be effective and innovative policy makers and
planning analysts, environmental educators or advocates, or adept in
skills that facilitate decision-making about the use and allocation of
natural resources. Building upon each student's undergraduate
training and relevant professional experience, the plan provides
students from a diversity of academic and professional backgrounds
with professional training.
The curriculum develops the student's analytical, quantitative, and
communication skills and balances his or her depth of knowledge in a
specialized field of study with a broader understanding of natural
resources and the environment. An important component of the
training is an increased awareness of how knowledge and skills from
several disciplines can be integrated to solve natural resource and
environmental problems. The plan is appropriate for students seeking
further professional training before entering or returning to natural
resource and environmental professions.
Students in Resource Policy and Behavior select one of seven
subplans:
❍
❍
❍
❍
❍
❍
❍
Behavior Conservation Biology and Ecosystem
Management
Environmental Behavior
Environmental Education
Environmental Justice
Environmental Policy
Environmental Planning
Policy Conservation Biology and Ecosystem
Management
Admission: A baccalaureate degree is required, preferably with
competence in the biophysical or social sciences, including biology,
calculus, and microeconomics.
Applicants must submit a complete Rackham paper application form
to SNRE; online applicants need not supply an additional copy.
Students currently or previously enrolled in a University of Michigan
graduate program may apply by submitting an Application for Change
of Program or Dual Degree, which includes a new Statement of Intent

emerged from traditional interests in forestry, fisheries, and wildlife
to broader interests in conservation biology, landscape ecology, and
ecosystem management. Our graduate students continue to conduct
research which is important to these traditional interests, but
increasingly, research focuses on the ecosystem-level, biological
conservation and sustainable development.
Master's students align with one of three subplans:
●
●
●
Aquatic Ecosystems
Terrestrial Ecosystems
REM Conservation Biology and Ecosystem Management
Admission: A baccalaureate degree in biology or applied ecology is
preferred with coursework in chemistry, math, or physics.
Outstanding students from a non-biological field are encouraged to
apply.

University of Michigan: Linguistics
Advising: Each student will choose two advisors to assist them in
moving through the program and to increase the breadth of
perspective they receive. The first, the A advisor, should be a faculty
member in the student's primary area of research interest. For first
term students, this advisor will be assigned by the beginning of the
Fall term on the basis of the student's statement of interest in their
application for admission to the program. The second, the B advisor,
may be any member of the faculty whom the student chooses. The B
advisor must be selected some time during the Fall term. The student
meets frequently with the A advisor, with whom they are likely to be
engaged in research. After a dissertation committee has been
approved, the student's A advisor will usually become the dissertation
committee chair.
Specific Course Requirements: All students must meet Rackham
Graduate School course work requirements, which are:
Courses taken after the BA degree must total at least 68 fee hours (a
maximum of 9 fee hours per full term) - at least 36 fee hours must be
completed prior to advancement to candidacy;
Students with a relevant Master's degree from another university
must accumulate at least 50 fee hours - at least 18 hours must be
completed before advancement to candidacy;
Students must satisfy the Rackham requirement of 2 graduate-level
cognate courses (3 credit hours each) offered by other departments;
An overall grade average of B or better must be attained.
Linguistics students not in a joint degree program are required to
take the following courses:
Phonetics (Ling 512); Phonology (Ling 513); Semantics (Ling 514);
Syntax (Ling 515); these 4 courses must be completed in the first
year of graduate study;
1 course in either Advanced Phonology (Ling 613) or Advanced
Syntax (Ling 615);
2 non-seminar courses in Contextual/Cognitive Foundations (possible
areas include Discourse Analysis, Historical Linguistics,
Sociolinguistics, Typology, Cognitive Grammar, Psycholinguistics;
students select these courses in consultation with their A advisor,
subject to approval by the Graduate Committee);
2 seminars, 1 of which must be in Linguistics;
Seminar on Graduate Study (Ling 801 -- a 2-credit, Fall-Winter
sequence);
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/ling.html (4 of 10) [3/29/2006 1:53:34 PM]
University of Michigan: Linguistics
Graduate Student Instructor Training (Ling 993).
Linguistics students in a joint degree program are required to take
the following courses:
Phonetics (Ling 512); Phonology (Ling 513); Semantics (Ling 514);
Syntax (Ling 515); these 4 courses are preferably completed in the
first year of graduate study and must be completed by the end of the
second year;
1 course in Contextual/Cognitive Foundations (see list above for
possible areas);
1 seminar in Linguistics;
Seminar on Graduate Study (Ling 801);
Graduate Student Instructor Training (Ling 993) if not taken in their
other unit.
All graduate students must maintain a minimum average of B+ in the
4 required 500-level courses (Ling 512, 513, 514, 515) and at least 2
of these 4 course grades must be A- or better. Students not satisfying
this requirement within the specified time (end of first year for nonjoint degree students; end of second year for joint degree students)
may normally not continue in the doctoral program (decisions will be
made on an individual basis.
Exemption from, or substitution for, any of these courses must be
done with the approval of a faculty member who regularly teaches
the course, plus the Graduate Committee.
Qualifying Research Paper: Students submit one substantial
qualifying research paper (QRP); submission by the beginning of their
third year is encouraged, although in practice this often occurs during
the third year. The QRP is written in addition to any papers done as a
part of course work, and is planned in careful consultation with a
faculty advisor. The paper should show the student's ability to pose a
linguistic question within a framework of current linguistic research,
collect and marshal empirical evidence that bears upon that question,
and present the results in a way that communicates successfully to
other linguists. The QRP is assessed by two readers, one serving as
the primary advisor.
Candidacy: A student advances to candidacy when the following
conditions have been met:
At least 36 Rackham fee hours (18 for students with an approved
MA);
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/ling.html (5 of 10) [3/29/2006 1:53:34 PM]
University of Michigan: Linguistics
Successful completion of all non-seminar course requirements
(including the 2 cognate courses) plus Ling 801;
Successful completion of the Qualifying Research Paper.
Rackham normally requires advancement to candidacy to occur within
four years of first enrollment.
Language Requirement: Before graduation, students must
demonstrate reading proficiency in 2 foreign languages. (1 if student
is enrolled in a joint degree program) International students whose
native language is not English may fulfill one language requirement
with their English proficiency.
Proficiency will be judged as equivalent to two years of college level
work in the language and can be demonstrated in one of three ways:
Passing an examination administered by a designated faculty member
in the Department;
Passing an examination set by the appropriate University foreign
language department;
Completing four semesters of college level work in a foreign
language. This course work must have been completed within the two
years preceding admission to the Ph.D. Program, with a minimum
grade of B.
Dissertation Prospectus: The principal goal of the prospectus is to
communicate clearly to the dissertation committee the background to
the proposed dissertation research, and its goals, scope, and
methods. It usually begins with a discussion of the central issue or
problem, interwoven with a critical review of the scholarship to date
in the area. The prospectus should include an outline of data
collection procedures and other methodological issues, as well as a
demonstration - usually via some preliminary analysis - that the
proposed study will be able to deliver answers to the research
questions.
The prospectus is prepared in consultation with members of the
dissertation committee. (Students consult with their advisor in
identifying faculty who might be approached as suitable doctoral
committee members.) The draft prospectus is discussed in a meeting
involving at least 3 committee members (ideally, the full committee)
so that faculty will have a clear and common understanding of the
student's plans, so that they can offer their advice and suggestions,
and so the student can defend the prospectus. An approved
prospectus, signed by all members of the committee, is filed with the
Department.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/ling.html (6 of 10) [3/29/2006 1:53:34 PM]
University of Michigan: Linguistics
Dissertation: The dissertation is a substantial piece of work that
presents and analyzes original research results, and motivates the
research and interprets the results within an appropriate framework.
The dissertation is supervised by a dissertation committee consisting
of at least 4 members, at least 2 of whom are in the Department of
Linguistics, and at least 1 from outside the Department. The
dissertation is examined at a public oral defense.
Joint Ph.D. Programs
Linguistics and Germanic Languages and Literatures
Linguistics and Romances Languages
The Department of Linguistics and the complementary departments
listed above offer joint Ph.D. programs. Inquiries regarding similar
programs (not presently formalized) for Chinese, Hindi, Sanskrit,
Arabic, linguistic anthropology and psycholinguistics are also
welcomed here. Course requirements in the formalized joint-degree
programs are slightly modified from the usual Ph.D. requirements for
the units in question to permit completion of the Ph.D. in the normal
time frame (approximately five years). The Department does not
accept MA applicants.
Admission: All incoming students must apply to the Department of
Linguistics; the application package should include a statement of
interest in Linguistics and the relevant language. Copies of the
application will be forwarded to the complementary department which
may be consulted for details. Application materials must be received
by January 1 or earlier if the complementary department has an
earlier deadline (Germanic: January 15; Romance: January 15;
Slavic: December 17). Applicants should check with the
complementary departments for their deadlines. The application
materials for Linguistics must include:
●
●
●
●
●
A completed Rackham School of Graduate Studies application,
including a statement of purpose;
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) results;
Official transcripts of previous work (plus English translations if
originals are not in English);
Three letters of recommendation;
A sample of written work.
Linguistics requires that students whose native language is not
English must submit scores on the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) or the Michigan Assessment Battery (MELAB).
Scores of at least 620 (TOEFL), 260 on the computer-based TOEFL, or
87 (MELAB) are normally necessary for admission. Incoming
international students may be retested in English before beginning
their first term. Other admissions requirements may be set by the
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/ling.html (7 of 10) [3/29/2006 1:53:34 PM]
University of Michigan: Linguistics
complementary departments.
For students already in a Rackham degree program who seek
admission to a joint degree program with Linguistics and Germanic,
Romance, or Slavic Languages and Literatures, the application
package should include:
●
●
●
●
●
●
The original application materials;
A new statement of purpose describing their converging
interests in linguistics and the relevant language(s);
A current U of M transcript;
A list of all courses taken through the Linguistics department,
specifying the instructor;
Current letters of recommendation, including (for students
who have taken U of M Linguistics courses) at least one letter
from a Linguistics faculty member;
Writing sample (preferably in Linguistics).
Advising: Students will each choose one advisor from Linguistics to
assist them in moving through the Ph.D. program and to increase the
breadth of perspective they receive. For first term students, this
advisor will be assigned by the beginning of the Fall term on the basis
of students statements of interest in the application materials, and
may be changed later. (Linguistics students not in joint-degree
programs have two advisors, a primary "A" advisor and a second "B"
advisor, and for administrative purposes the single Linguistics advisor
for joint-degree students will be classified as the "A"advisor.)
Advisors from the complementary department will be chosen or
assigned following the department's procedures. After a dissertation
committee has been approved, the Linguistics advisor will usually be
a dissertation committee chair, co-chair, or member.
Requirements: All students must meet Rackham Graduate School
course work requirements, which are:
●
●
●
●
Courses taken after the BA degree must total at least 68 fee
hours (a maximum of 9 fee hours can be counted in any single
full term). At least 36 of these fee hours must be completed
prior to advancement to candidacy;
A student with a Master's degree that is relevant(as
determined during the admissions process by the Department
and the complementary department) has a reduced
accumulation requirement of at least 50 fee hours. At least 18
fee hours must be completed before advancement to
candidacy;
Rackham requires 2 graduate-level cognate courses (3 credits
each) from a department other than the student's own
primary department. Since joint degree programs necessarily
involve coursework in two departments, the cognate
requirement is automatically satisfied;
An overall grade average of B or better must be obtained.

Degree Programs
General Requirement - All MSE Students
Master of Science in Engineering
Doctor of Philosophy
General Requirements - All MSE Students
Admission: Applicants must submit a completed application and
transcripts of all academic records. They should have a bachelor's
degree in engineering or physical science. In addition to the specific
requirements listed below, see the Master's Degrees and Doctoral
Degrees sections of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Specific Course Requirement: All full-time MSE graduate students,
or any graduate students performing MSE 690, 990, or 995 research
must enroll in the one-credit hour course MSE 590 during the first Fall
term after their arrival.
Two different types of M.S.E. degrees are offerred: one with a
primary focus on coursework (Coursework M.S.E.) and one
with an emphasis on research (Research M.S.E.) Students
supported with a GSRA or research fellowship, must pursue a
Research M.S.E. rather than a Coursework M.S.E.
Coursework M.S.E.
Students seeking a coursework M.S.E. degree must complete 30
credit hours of courses, which must be approved by the student's
advisor. Of the 30 credit hours, up to 8 credit hours may be satisfied
by MSE 690, and at least 15 credit hours of MSE department courses
(excluding MSE 690) must be taken. At least 2 cognate courses (a
minimum of 4 credit hours) must be taken. Students taking MSE 690
must submit a research report commensurate with the number of
MSE 690 credits taken. This report must be approved by the project
supervisor. It may also be used as a document for the Ph.D. oral
candidacy exam (see Section 4.2.3).
Research M.S.E.
Students seeking a Research M.S.E. degree must complete 30 credit
hours of courses, which must be approved by the student's advisor.
Students must take at least 9 credits of MSE 690. Students must take
at least 12 credit hours of MSE department courses. Students must
take at least 2 cognate courses (a minimum of 4 credit hours).
Students must submit a master's thesis to an examining committee of
three faculty members, two of which must be from MSE. This
committee will include the research advisor and two other faculty
selected by the advisor in consultation with the student and approved
by the Graduate Committee Chair. The thesis may also be used as a
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/material.html (3 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:53:36 PM]
University of Michigan: Materials Science and Engineering
document for the Ph.D. oral candidacy exam (see Section 4.2.3). The
thesis must be defended orally before this committee and approved
by a majority of the committee and the advisor. The oral defense may
also serve as the Ph.D. oral exam at the committee's discretion. This
thesis should contain a critical review of background information and
relevant literature, a statement of objective, a results section, and a
thorough scientific analysis of these results. It should have a degree
of originality suitable for publication. In the event that the student is
not satisfied with the results of his/her examination(s), an appeal for
arbitration can be made in sequence to the graduate committee chair,
the Dept. chair, the Rackham Graduate School or the College of
Engineering Ombudsman. Graduate students who pass the Ph.D.
qualifying exam but still want a Masters Degree must also satisfy the
above requirements.
Cognates: All students must take two courses (cognates) outside the
MSE department. These cognate courses (each of two hours
minimum) must be in a technical area and are usually satisfied at the
graduate level.
Research: All graduate students receiving financial support from the
MSE department, or from the university, must enroll in MSE 690,
990, or 995 during the term(s) they are supported. The faculty
research advisor will work closely with the students to establish a
research program and officially evaluate the student's research
through the grading of MSE 690,990, or 995.
Department Seminar Series: All full-time graduate students
enrolled in MSE 690, 990, or 995 are required to attend the
departmental seminar series.
Course Selection: All course selections must be approved by a
faculty research advisor or graduate advisor.
Master of Science in Engineering
Admission: Applicants must submit a completed application and
transcripts of all previous academic records. They should have a
bachelor's degree in engineering or physical science. Specific
requirements for admission can be obtained from the Materials
Science and Engineering Graduate Program Office.
Minimum Number of Credits Required: 30 credit hours in
departmental or cognate subjects in a technical discipline.
Specific Course Requirements: A minimum of two cognate
courses, each being at least two credit hours in a technical discipline,
are required. Students receiving financial aid from the department
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/material.html (4 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:53:36 PM]
University of Michigan: Materials Science and Engineering
must take nine hours of Mat. Sci. and Eng. 690 and submit a thesis.
Students will be expected to begin a research project within one
month of initial enrollment and to submit a written research summary
within one calendar year of initial enrollment. Students enrolled in
Mat. Sci. and Eng. 690, 990, or 995 will be required to attend the
departmental colloquium and seminar series.
Foreign Language Requirement: None.
Work Experience Requirement: None.
Thesis or Research Essay: A Master's thesis, subject to
departmental approval, is required of all full-time students receiving
financial assistance from the department. For others, a research
report may be substituted for the thesis for up to six hours of
graduate credit under Mat. Sci. and Eng. 690.
Final Examination: An oral presentation and defense of the research
is required.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: Basic admission requirements are as stated for the M.S.
degree. Where deficiencies are found, additional preparation,
including additional course work and research, may be required.
Range of Enrollment: A minimum of 30 hours of formal course work
is required beyond the baccalaureate degree.
Specific Course Requirements: A minimum of 30 hours of formal
course work is required beyond the B.S. degree, including a minimum
of two cognate courses in a technical area. Students who have
completed a Master of Science in Engineering degree at the University
of Michigan are required to complete a minimum of nine hours of
formal course work. A minimum of 18 hours of formal course work
will be required beyond the equivalent M.S. degree to fulfill the
residency and cognate requirements set forth by the Rackham
Graduate School.
Qualifying Examination: The Ph.D. qualifying examination will
consist of an oral defense of research work performed during the first
year of graduate study. New students holding a B.S. degree and
students holding an M.S. degree without previous academic research
experience will follow the guidelines set forth for M.S. research. The
defense of the M.S. research will serve as the qualifying examination
for the Ph.D. program. Students holding an M.S. degree (U-M
equivalent in Materials Science and Engineering), which can be shown
to have involved significant research may petition to defend this
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/material.html (5 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:53:36 PM]
University of Michigan: Materials Science and Engineering
research for their qualifying examination. More detailed information
on the examination procedure is available in the Graduate Program
Office.
Foreign Language Requirement: None.
Work Experience Requirement: Each student will be required to
complete at least one teaching assignment prior to the completion of
the Ph.D. degree.
Preliminary Examination: The preliminary examination is a written
examination covering advanced undergraduate and introductory
graduate level knowledge of Materials Science and Engineering. The
examination is given in two five-hour sessions. The first session is a
closed-book examination of general concepts. The second part is an
open-book examination covering the following areas: metallic
materials, ceramic materials, polymer materials, thermodynamics and
transport phenomena, and physics and physical properties of
materials. The examination must be taken for the first time prior to
completing the third full term of registration. Students must
successfully pass the preliminary examination before the end of their
second calendar year of enrollment. More detailed information on the
examination is available in the Graduate Program Office.
Candidate Status: Candidacy requirements are described in the
Requirements for Achieving Candidacy section of the Graduate
Student Handbook.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

Minimum Number of Credits Required: 24 credit hours.
Specific Course Requirements: Besides a general program, there
are special programs designed for students wishing to concentrate in
applied mathematics, computer science and numerical analysis,
mathematics for secondary school teachers, or actuarial mathematics.
Certain courses at the 400-level are allowed to count toward the
degree, although programs are primarily composed of 500 and 600level courses. In some instances, cognates may be chosen from
special areas in mathematics. Students who may later enter a
doctoral program are encouraged to follow programs that will provide
a good foundation and an easy transition to doctoral studies.

University of Michigan: Mathematics
Thesis or Research Essay: The writing of a thesis is not required,
although students continuing in a doctoral program may choose to
substitute a master's thesis for a course.
Foreign Language Requirement: None.
Final Examination: None.
Dual Enrollment: Graduate students already enrolled in doctoral
programs in other departments of the University may apply for
special counseling toward a master's degree in mathematics.
Applications and inquiries pertaining to this special counseling should
be directed to the Graduate Admissions Officer of the Department of
Mathematics.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: Applicants should have completed a master's degree in
mathematics or equivalent with a strong record or an undergraduate
major with an outstanding record. Three letters of recommendation
and GRE aptitude and advanced scores are required.
Specific Course Requirements: None.
Qualifying Review: The review is based on qualifying review
examinations in core areas and on general progress, and evaluates
the potential for successful completion of the doctorate. The
department expects students to complete the review by the end of
the 4th term and requires that it be completed by the start of the 6th
term. A student who does not pass the review before the
departmental deadline is not permitted to continue in the doctoral
program. The core areas covered by the examination include: (1)
algebra, (2) analysis, (3) geometry/topology, and (4) applied
analysis. Examinations in these areas may be taken in any term, but
one examination must be passed by the beginning of the 4th term.
Preliminary Examination: After passing the qualifying review, the
student consults with his or her faculty counselor to choose major and
minor topics for the preliminary examination and to prepare a plan to
satisfy the course, language, and cognate requirements. After
fulfilling these requirements and passing the preliminary examination
the student achieves the status of Ph.D. candidate.
Dissertation: At this stage the supervisor will be replaced by a
tentative dissertation adviser and the student (if he or she has not
already done so) begins work on the dissertation. When a draft of the
thesis is completed, the doctoral committee will appoint two readers
to submit independent evaluations on the basis of which the
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/math.html (4 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:37 PM]
University of Michigan: Mathematics
committee will decide whether or not to approve the work. When the
draft is approved, the student prepares the final manuscript and
submits to a thesis defense exam. A successful defense completes the
requirements for a degree.
For more information, see the Program Web Page. For general
information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination, and
publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

Degree Program
The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is a dual degree
program of the Rackham Graduate School and the Medical School
permitting exceptional students to complete the requirements for the
Ph.D. and M.D. degrees in seven to eight years. Fellowships, including
full tuition and a stipend, are awarded each year so long as the
student remains in good academic standing. The primary goal of the
Program is the education of medical scientists who possess, in
addition to the knowledge and perspective of medicine, the
corresponding advantages gained through the doctoral programs in
the biomedical and related sciences. The graduates are expected to
become academicians and investigators who will utilize their
educational strengths for the advancement of knowledge in the health
fields.
The core Ph.D. programs participating are Bioinformatics, Biological
Chemistry, Biophysics, Cell & Developmental Biology, Cellular and
Molecular Biology,Chemical Biology, Human Genetics, Immunology,
Medicinal Chemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, Molecular and
Integrative Physiology, Neuroscience, Pathology, and Pharmacology.
(Students in other Ph.D. programs closely related to medicine may be
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/biohealth.sci/mstp.html (2 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:53:38 PM]

accepted by special action of the MSTP Officers.) Students may
transfer from one Ph.D. program to another. Furthermore, students
entering the program need not, at first, specify which Ph.D. will be
pursued, but may designate MSTP as their graduate program. Some
students take an introductory research rotation in the summer prior
to the start of medical school coursework; all take a graduate
biochemistry course in the fall term. It is expected that all students
will have selected a Ph.D. program and begun formal contact with a
research laboratory by the end of the second year. Students are
enrolled each year for as many as three full terms.
For individual program requirements for the Ph.D. degrees, consult
the appropriate sections in this Bulletin. Note that a student may
register in a combined M.D. and Ph.D. program apart from the
Medical Scientist Training Program. For further information on how
these and the Medical School requirements have been adapted to the
combined program, contact the Medical Scientist Training Program
Office, at the address shown at the end of this section.
For Important Dual/Joint Degree Credit Information click here
Approximately half of the curricular time of the Rackham Dual M.D.Ph.D. Program will be devoted to research and preparation of the
doctoral dissertation. Students generally will have some teaching
experience as part of the preparation for an academic career. All
students, some time after completion of the basic science courses,
will complete a set of clinical clerkships, including all required
clerkships, and such electives as may be chosen or determined by the
Program officers in concert with the Associate Dean for Medical
Education. The MSTP graduates will generally take several years of
postdoctoral training in clinical and research work.
Students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and will be
considered for admission to the dual M.D.-Ph.D. program directly
from undergraduate school, from existing University of Michigan
Medical School programs and from existing Ph.D. programs. A prior
supervised research experience is mandatory. All other requirements
are those of the Medical School or individual doctoral programs.
Applicants must submit the completed Medical School application
form (AMCAS) and fee by October 15 and Graduate School application
by May 1. As a part of these applications, the student will need to
submit all transcripts, Medical College Admission Test scores, and
three letters of MSTP recommendation. The Graduate Record
Examination is required for some fields (e.g., Biomedical Engineering,
Public Health). A limited number of applicants will be interviewed
before final admission decisions are made. No applicant will be given
final consideration without a visit to the campus. Fees are those of
the dominant activity in each term.

Certificate of Graduate Studies
In addition to the specific requirements listed there, see the
Certificate Programs section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Certificate of Graduate Studies
The certificate in Medieval and Early Modern Studies (ca. 500 to 1800
AD) is designed to help Ph.D. students acquire an interdisciplinary
grounding in their area of expertise. The certificate program
organizes activities to help build community among students from
different departments and encourages them to develop disciplinary,
geographical, and chronological range. We feel strongly that one's
own discipline is more clearly understood when its practices are
located among those of other fields.
The MEMS certificate program is a flexible grouping of courses, but
one course is required for all students--the MEMS graduate
proseminar. This class is team-taught by faculty from different
departments who model in the classroom the kinds of interdisciplinary
enquiry the certificate program encourages. The proseminar may
address various topics of the period: urbanization, courts, the roles of
women, the impact of religion, colonialism, encounters between east
and west, and nation-building, for example, but each course thinks
hard about how to do interdisciplinary work. These courses also will
be expected to focus on the distinctive character of premodern
cultures and the special research problems and disciplinary challenges
they present.
Along with the yearly MEMS proseminar, we offer a continuing
prospectus- and dissertation-writing seminar to give graduate
students a clear sense of an interdisciplinary community. This
seminar will provide its participants an opportunity to share their
works-in-progress with peers from a variety of backgrounds and
address issues of common interest in research, method, and writing
across the disciplines. Credits for the certificate may be acquired in
this seminar.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/mems.html (3 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:53:39 PM]
University of Michigan: Medieval and Early Modern Studies
Admission: Any student with a bachelor's degree who has been
admitted to, or is currently enrolled in, a graduate program at the
University is eligible to apply for a Graduate Certificate in MEMS.
Applicants should have at least an A- average in their graduate
course work or (for entering students) in their undergraduate course
work and are expected to have reading knowledge of two foreign
languages. Admissions take place throughout the year, and
applications are reviewed by the MEMS Executive Committee on an
ongoing basis. Students who wish to enter the program must submit
the following:
1. A letter outlining his or her reasons for wanting to receive
MEMS certification and explaining the rationale of the
proposed course of study. The letter should also explain the
student's background in Medieval and/or Early Modern
Studies.
2. A current transcript demonstrating at least an A- average and
language facility.
3. A letter of approval from the Director of Graduate Studies in
the student's home department.
Specific Course Requirements: MEMS is a 15-credit program; up
to 9 of the 15 credit hours may include coursework required for the
student's graduate or professional degree. Students will produce a 20page term paper for the required proseminar; reading for the course
will be around 150 pages per week.
Certificate students will be advised by the MEMS director, in
consultation with a MEMS faculty associate in the student's home
unit. Students are encouraged to meet with the director at least once
per term to assess progress towards the certificate.

University of Michigan: Graduate Programs in Microbiology and Immunology
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: Students who are attracted to a career in microbiology
and immunology come from many disciplines and with varied
backgrounds. Certain basic requirements, however, are recognized to
be essential for productive, scholarly work. Students are required to
have 2 terms of calculus, physics, organic, and inorganic chemistry, a
semester course in genetics and biochemistry; it is also strongly
recommended that at least one physical chemistry course be taken.
We admit for Ph.D. degrees only. Typically students graduate in five
years.
Graduate Record Examination scores must be submitted to support a
student's application, as well as letters of recommendation. A
complete TOEFL is required of all international applicants.
Range of Enrollment: A very wide range in course work
requirements exist because each student's program is assigned and
scheduled individually.
Specific Course Requirements: Students spend their first year in
the PIBS curriculum. Those students who matriculate into the
Department of Microbiology and Immunology are required to take
eight credits from among the core Microbiology and Immunology
modules offered by the Department. These courses offer graduate
level study in the areas of Immunology, Virology and Viral
Pathogenesis, and Bacterial Pathogenesis.
Every graduate student is required to enroll in Microbiology 812
Seminar every semester. This important departmental activity
involves every student and every faculty member in an analysis of
advances at the frontiers of Microbiology and Immunology. Students
either present published papers or their own research.
All students are required to take three credit hours of courses in
addition to the above. These courses may be from those offered by
the department or from another department. Horace H. Rackham
Graduate School requires that each student must satisfactorily
complete two graduate-level courses for a minimum of two hours of
credit each in a department or departments other than his/her own
department of specialization. This cognate requirement is typically
meant by PIBS core courses taken in the first year.
Foreign Language Requirements: None
Candidacy: Students achieve candidacy status by passing the
Preliminary Exam within 22 months of entering into graduate school.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/biohealth.sci/microbio.html (3 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:53:40 PM]
University of Michigan: Graduate Programs in Microbiology and Immunology
Permission to extend the 22 month period must be requested by the
student and approved by the department's Graduate Studies
Committee (GSC).
In preparation for the preliminary examination, the Graduate Studies
Committee offers a list of topics from which the student may select
one as the basis of the exam. The student submits to the GSC the

Master of Arts
Admission: In addition to the standard application form and
academic transcripts, the applicant should send three letters of
recommendation directly to the Center. Graduate Record Examination
scores are also required. Persons lacking any background on the area
can be admitted to the program, but will be advised to take such
specific courses as the advisor deems necessary to make up their
deficiencies, prior to obtaining credit toward the degree.
Minimum Number of Credits Required: 30 hours of graduate
credit and a thesis or 36 hours of graduate credit and no thesis.
Specific Course Requirements: The 30 hours of graduate work
must be distributed over no fewer than three and no more than five
of the following fields: Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History,
History of Art, Languages and Literatures, Political Science, Sociology,
and Religions and Civilization. A maximum of 15 credits may be taken
in any one field. The selection of fields should be made after
consultation with an advisor. Fifteen of the 30 hours must represent
work in courses offered primarily or exclusively for the graduate
students. One term of the Faculty-Student Seminar (695), or an
alternate seminar-level course approved by the program's graduate
student advisor, must be elected. Two terms of Middle Eastern history
equivalent to History 442 and 443, The First Millennium of the Islamic
Near East and The Modern Middle East since 1760. One or both terms
of this requirement may be waived by the Center's graduate advisor if
comparable courses were taken at the undergraduate level. Foreign
Language Requirement. The student must complete the equivalent of
the third year of a modern language of the area, or demonstrate that
level of competence by an exam administered by the Department of
Near Eastern Studies. No graduate credit is given for first or second
year language courses, thus work at this level does not count toward
the 30 required
hours.

Certificate Program
The University of Michigan, drawing upon exceptional intellectual and
material resources in the arts, humanities, sciences, social sciences
and technology, has developed a unique interdisciplinary graduate
program in museum studies. The Museum Studies Program (UMMSP)
trains students in the theoretical and practical implications of working
with and from "objects" and in the places in which they reside. We
use broad definitions of "museum" and "object" to include the
institutions that deal with the preservation and interpretation of
inanimate as well as living collections, and with "things" concrete and
conceptual. We consider the singular object as well as the broader
physical and ideological contexts in which they are situated. After
engaging in a critical examination of the ideas and practices that have
shaped museums and related institutions, students will apply this
critical perspective and gain first-hand experience working in specific
institutional settings. The UMMSP is explicitly cross-disciplinary and
cross-cultural in orientation and prepares students for careers in a
variety of professional settings including museums, arboreta, zoos,
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/musstud.html (1 of 3) [3/29/2006 1:53:43 PM]
University of Michigan: Museum Studies
botanical gardens, heritage sites, archives, universities and the
entertainment industry.
The UMMSP is a graduate certificate program. Students who have
been admitted to or who are currently enrolled in a graduate degree
program at the University of Michigan, or who have received a
graduate degree from an accredited institution within the last five
years, are eligible to apply for admission to the Program.
The UMMSP requires 18 credit hours for award of the Certificate in
Museum Studies, a portion of which may be double-counted with
coursework undertaken in the student's primary field of study. The 18
credit hours are distributed as follows:
●
●
●
A required two-semester proseminar in theoretical, historical
and methodological issues in museum studies. This
proseminar is led by the Program Director, and taught by a
team of faculty from across the disciplines. This seminar
sequence accounts for 6 hours and is offered each year in the
Fall and Winter terms. Students must commit to enrolling in
the two proseminars for the academic year following
admission to the program.
Six hours of elective study from courses that have been
approved by the UMMSP Steering Committee.
Six hours of internship, independent study, or research
assistantship, to be carried out by preference within a
museum or related institution at the University of Michigan
and/or off-campus. Coordination of this component is
overseen by the Program Director.
The UMMSP offers fellowships on a competitive basis for the spring
and summer. The purpose of these fellowships is to promote
internships, research assistantships, study at other universities, field
work at museums and independent study related to students'
programs.
Enrollment in the Program is competitive and limited by the size of
the proseminar (estimated at a maximum of 12-15 students per
year). Decisions regarding admission are made by the Program's
Steering Committee.
Students interested in applying to the UMMSP are advised to contact
the Program's Director. Guidelines for applying for admission are
available on UMMSP website or may be obtained by contacting the
UMMSP office.

Range of Enrollment: A minimum of 36 credit hours must be
completed before candidacy.
Candidacy: Admission to Candidacy requires completion of a
laboratory course requirement (NERS 515), and a 6 hour credit
breadth course requirement (from a list of categorized courses), all
with a grade of B or better. The purpose of this requirement is to
ensure the breadth of nuclear engineering and radiological science
education of our Ph.D. students and to ensure that the student is
exposed to the quantitative analytical methods used in other
specialties in the field.
Breadth Requirement Courses and Option Classification:
Fission Systems and Radiation Transport: NERS 441, 543, 551, 554,
561
Materials: 521, 522
Measurements: 518, 481, 580
Plasmas and Fusion: 471, 571, 572, 575, 576

University of Michigan: Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences
5) radiation safety, environmental sciences, and medical
physics.
The written examination covers topics in each option at a graduate
level. The written examination is normally scheduled several weeks
after the end of the fall (December) and winter (April) terms.
Oral Examination--Dissertation Prospectus: An oral thesis
prospectus exam is required for completion of the Ph.D. degree. This
exam must be taken within 12 months of achieving candidacy status,
and after the candidate has selected a dissertation committee.
The exam will consist of a presentation by the candidate on his or her
proposed research program, lasting about 30 minutes, followed by
questioning. After questions covering the presentation material,
questions of a more fundamental but related nature may be
introduced. These questions may cover material found in standard
undergraduate or introductory graduate NERS courses. This question
period is normally expected to last 60 minutes.
This examining committee will consist of at least 3 members of the
student's dissertation committee (the full committee will be invited),
and one randomly selected NERS faculty member from outside the
candidate's dissertation committee. The chair of the examining
committee will be the student's dissertation committee chair.
Following the questioning the examining committee will discuss the
proposed research and prospectus, and vote on passing or failing the
student; their decision will be communicated to the student as soon
afterwards as practicable, and to the NERS faculty as a whole at the
next faculty meeting.
This exam may be attempted twice; the second attempt must occur
within 12 months of the first. Additional attempts beyond the second
will require approval of the NERS faculty.
The oral examination will be scheduled at the student's request with
the approval of his/her advisor. The student should then submit his or
her name, option, research topic, and an abstract to Peggy Jo
Gramer, Graduate Coordinator, along with some dates that both the
advisor and student find convenient. She will then set the committee,
schedule the exam, and reserve the room for the exam.
Candidate Status: Candidacy requirements are described in
Requirements for Achieving Candidacy section of the Graduate
Student Handbook.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.
Note: The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required for
financial consideration. The GRE is also required for fellowship

Preliminary Examination: This is a qualifying examination, and is
comprised of a written paper and an oral exam based on the paper.
The committee is composed of three members, one of whom must be
a doctorally prepared nurse and one from outside the School of
Nursing. The student writes a proposal stating learning aims, topics
for study, and issues to be pursued.
Candidate Status: Successful completion of designated
requirements and the Preliminary Examination results in candidacy
status. Candidacy requirements are described in the Requirements for
Achieving Candidacy section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Dissertation Committee: Shortly after admission to Candidacy,
nominations for the Dissertation Committee will be worked out by the
Candidate, the Candidate's dissertation advisor, and the Program
Director and forwarded through channels for appointment by the
Dean of the Graduate School. This dissertation committee will be
chaired by a regular member of the School of Nursing faculty, and will
consist of at least four members: two faculty from the School of
Nursing, at least one of which is a nurse, one cognate member, and
one other within or outside the School of Nursing.
Dissertation: The student is to select a dissertation topic in the area
of nursing research. The dissertation is a contract between the
student and the dissertation committee. The student will write a
research proposal that, upon acceptance by the committee, defines
the nature and scope of the research expected of that student. The
Candidate is responsible for periodically briefing all dissertation
committee members on the progress of the research and dissertation.
The unbound final draft of the dissertation must be circulated among
members of the dissertation committee at least three weeks prior to
the oral examination.
Oral Examination: A final, oral examination conducted by the
dissertation committee completes the evaluative process of doctoral
candidates. The final examination will take place following acceptance
of the completed dissertation by the dissertation committee and upon
authorization by the Dean of the Graduate School. The dissertation
committee submits a written evaluation of the Candidate's
performance to the Graduate School. An evaluation that indicates
successful performance constitutes the formal recommendation of a
Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

Degree Programs
Doctor of Philosophy
The Department of Pharmacology offers courses of study to properly
qualified graduate and postgraduate students. Pharmacology is the
study of effects of chemical substances on living organisms. It is a
broad scientific field that encompasses a wide area of research
activities, including both molecular biological and physiological
experimental approaches, aimed at developing new and better
treatments for various diseases. A strong background in chemistry,
biology, and mathematics is desirable. Those who desire to undertake
graduate work in this department must receive approval of the PIBS
Admissions Committee.
In addition to the specific requirements listed below, see the Doctoral
Degrees section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Doctor of Philosophy
The student who wishes to prepare for a research or academic career
in pharmacology is strongly advised to obtain a broad foundation in
the physical and biological sciences before completing those required
courses which would logically be taken in preparation for the doctor's
degree. The legal application of pharmacology to animal or human
therapeutics requires the practitioner to qualify for the appropriate
professional degree (M.D., D.D.S., D.V.M.). Acceptance for graduate
study in pharmacology does not imply admission to the Medical
School or the School of Dentistry. However, those admitted to both
the graduate and the professional school may pursue the M.D. or

pharmacology, but without reducing the total requirements for either
degree. We also offer a Rackham dual degree program awarding a
Pharm.D. - Ph.D. degree.
Admission: Applicants must submit:
●
●
●
●
a completed application (including a statement of purpose)
transcripts of all previous academic records
Graduate Record Examination scores
three letters of recommendation
Specific Course Requirements: Course requirements must be
fulfilled if graduate credit is obtained in the following preparatory
courses or in their equivalents: PIBS 501, 600; (at least two courses

759, 760, 762, 763; Physiology 540, 555.
Foreign Language Requirement: None
Preliminary Examinations: Admission to candidacy is contingent
upon the results of the oral preliminary examination which generally
must be taken by the end of the second year of work for the degree.
Dissertation: Before final recommendation for the degree, the
candidate must present a dissertation suitable for publication which
embodies the results of original research and submit to an oral
examination which covers the subject of the dissertation.
Candidate Status: Candidacy requirements are described in the
Requirements for Achieving Candidacy section of the Graduate
Student Handbook.
Teaching: During the course of doctoral research the candidate will
be expected to assist in the teaching of pharmacology in the
department and will be encouraged to take course work that will
complement the chosen field of specialization.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

competition with other applicants. A.M. students at Michigan will not
be given special consideration for admission to the Ph.D. program.
Note: The Philosophy Department and the University of Michigan Law
School offer a combined program in philosophy and law, leading to
the Ph.D. and J.D. degrees. More information is available on request.
In addition to the specific requirements listed below, see the Master's
Degrees and Doctoral Degrees section of the Graduate Student
Handbook.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/phil.html (2 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:52 PM]
University of Michigan: Philosophy
Master of Arts
Admission: This program is designed primarily for students with
bachelor's degrees who do not intend to obtain a Ph.D. in philosophy
or to pursue a career in philosophy, but who feel that some graduatelevel work in philosophy will further their professional goals in other
fields, or contribute to their personal development. A.M. students are
accepted for the Fall Term only. The deadline for applications is
January 15. Students are encouraged to apply well before the
deadline. Applicants are required to submit the same supporting
materials as are Ph.D. students. (See Ph.D. admission requirements.)
Course Requirements: 24 credit hours, including at least 18 hours
of graduate level work in philosophy and two related cognate courses,
for a minimum of two credit hours each, with a grade of B- or better
in each course and a grade point average of B (5.0) for all philosophy
courses.
Foreign Language Requirement: None.
Work Experience Requirement: None.
Thesis or Research Essay: None.
Distribution Requirements: A student must receive certification for
distribution credit at the Master's level in three areas:
logic, epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy
of mind, or philosophy of science;
ethics, social and political philosophy, or aesthetics; and
history of philosophy. For details, contact the department.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: Applicants are required to take the aptitude portions of
the Graduate Record Examination (not the philosophy achievement
test, however); the results of this examination are used only as a
supplement to other information. Applicants need not have
"concentrated" in philosophy in their undergraduate work; however, it
is desirable to have a sound background in the central areas of
philosophy, such as logic, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/phil.html (3 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:53:52 PM]
University of Michigan: Philosophy
history of philosophy. Applicants must also submit a list of principal
authors and texts used in advanced philosophy courses, three letters
of recommendation, a sample of the student's philosophical writing,
and transcripts from all institutions attended. Ph.D. Students are
accepted for the Fall term only. The deadline for applications is
January 15; decisions are usually made by mid-March.
Course Requirements: Students must complete 12 "program units."
Each three-hour graduate course in philosophy counts as one
program unit. A student may earn several program units by
independent work, apart from formal courses. A student who has
done graduate work elsewhere may petition for credit for up to four
program units for this work. For course requirement details, contact
the department.

University of Michigan: Philosophy
Candidacy: To be admitted to candidacy, the student will assemble a
dossier consisting of one or more papers within the expected area of
the dissertation, to be read by an ad hoc committee consisting of two
faculty members. Admission to candidacy will be determined on the
basis of a recommendation by this committee, and the student's
overall academic performance. The Department expects students
normally to achieve candidacy by the end of May of their third year in
the program.
Dissertation Prospectus: After the student has qualified for
candidacy, the student will select a dissertation chair and committee.
The chair will guide the student in formulating a prospectus. When
the prospectus is submitted, the committee will meet with the student
to discuss it, and decide whether to accept it.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

Admission: While no minimum undergraduate GPA or course
requirements are specified, a sufficient undergraduate physics
curriculum -- emphasizing classical mechanics, electricity and
magnetism, thermal and statistical physics, quantum physics, and
modern physics -- is expected, to provide the necessary grounding
for graduate-level work. Applicants should have completed at least
the equivalent of a full undergraduate physics major, i.e. a one-year
general physics course, 18 hours of intermediate- and advanced-level
physics, and a course in differential equations. The GRE general test
is required; the GRE subject test is very highly recommended.

Degree Program
Doctor of Philosophy
The doctoral program in Women's Studies and Psychology is designed
to serve students whose interests are not well represented by an
exclusively disciplinary program. Such students need conceptual and
methodological tools that are grounded in the interdisciplinary
perspective of the Women's Studies Program.
In this doctoral program, students have the opportunity to work out
an interdisciplinary approach to a research problem from an early
point in training, with a faculty committee that can provide shaping
direction. They benefit from the kind of interdisciplinary mentorship
that is necessary to develop and complete an interdisciplinary
dissertation.
Doctor of Philosophy
Women's Studies Course Requirements: Joint doctoral students
take four required courses in Women's Studies:
1. Women's Studies 501: Proseminar in Women's Studies (1
credit)
2. One course in feminist theory. Theory courses that fulfill this
requirement include Theories of Feminism (530)--the course
most commonly taken to fulfill this requirement; Feminist
Cultural Theory; Feminist Political Theory; Lesbian Theory.
Theories of Feminism (530) provides an interdisciplinary
exploration of various schools of feminist thought. Specific
content varies, depending on the particular interests of the
instructor. Recent courses have included examples of classic
and less well-known theoretical texts; comparison of themes
current in the humanities and social sciences; challenges to
"traditional" feminist theory from women of color. Courses in
feminist cultural or political theory are alternatives for
students with strong undergraduate backgrounds in feminist
theory.
3. Approaches to Feminist Scholarship in the Humanities (601) or
Approaches to Feminist Scholarship on Women of Color (603).
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/womenstpsych.html (3 of 11) [3/29/2006 1:53:56 PM]
University of Michigan: Psychology and Women's Studies
The Approaches to Feminist Scholarship courses are designed
to examine various theoretical, substantive and
methodological issues in feminist scholarship in relation to the
paradigms of traditional disciplines.
4. WS 891 Advanced Research.
WS891 brings students and faculty together both to discuss
issues in interdisciplinary feminist scholarship, and to support
students' development of their own interdisciplinary research
projects.
In addition to these core courses, joint doctoral students take 9
additional hours of graduate coursework, chosen from among
Women's Studies offerings and cross-listed courses provided by other
departments.
At least one of these courses must be an interdisciplinary Women's
Studies course and must include substantial coverage of theoretical
issues.
Psychology Course Requirements: Joint Psychology & Women's
Studies students enroll in a specific area of Psychology. Course
requirements differ according to area, but all Psychology & Women's
Studies students take the following Psychology courses:
●
●
●
●
●
PSYC 613: Statistics I (5 credits)
PSYC 614: Statistics II (3 credits)
PSYC 600: Proseminar (Overview of Psychology) (3 credits)
PSYC 619: Individual Research (students are not required to
register for this, but they may register to bring course load to
9 credits per semester if they are not already registered for
that many credits)
3 Psychology area courses (2-3 credits each) (see course
requirements for specific areas)
The Psychology department's breadth requirement is waived
for joint Women's Studies students.
Fourth-Semester Reviews: Students will meet with an evaluation
committee in the winter term of their second year, to discuss and
review their progress. Materials gathered for this meeting will include:
●
●
●
Comments from all faculty who taught them in a course;
Their transcript;
A writing sample from a course or from their 619.
The evaluation committee will include the student's WS adviser,
Psychology adviser, the area head in Psychology for the student's
area, and a suitable WS faculty member identified by the DGS in WS
(who may consult the advisers and/or student about this).
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/womenstpsych.html (4 of 11) [3/29/2006 1:53:56 PM]
University of Michigan: Psychology and Women's Studies
PSYC 619 and WS 891: All students in Psychology complete a
research project in Psychology (the 619 project). The 619 paper may
form the basis of the 891 paper. Arrangements for WS 891 for
Psychology students are as follows:
●
●
●
●
the 619 project is submitted to all the members of the 891
committee (see above under "Women's Studies Course
Requirements" for constitution of this committee)
each committee member makes written comments on the
paper, and recommends additional readings
the paper, the committee's comments, and the additional
readings are discussed at a oral exam at which the committee
and the candidate explore possible revisions to the paper.
Often these revisions will be in the direction of increased
interdisciplinarity, and increased focus on issues of gender,
women, or sexuality
after the oral exam, the student revises the paper and submits
it to the committee chair, who notifies the committee if it is
acceptable for the requirement
WS 891 is normally completed during the student's third year, after
advancement to candidacy (joint students in the Clinical area are an
exception to this rule - see section on requirements for Clinical).
Reminder: Because the 619 project is often the basis of the
Women's Studies Advanced Research Project (WS 891), joint
Women's Studies & Psychology students should be sure that their 619

University of Michigan: Psychology and Women's Studies
All students in the Social area are given fifteen questions (five
questions in each of three categories which have been selected by the
cohort of students taking the exam). Joint students will prepare to
answer ten questions (two categories). On the day of the exam, all
students - joint and Psychology only - are given six questions (two in
each of the three categories). Students in Social but not in Women's
Studies write three answers, one in each category, but joint students
write only two answers (one in each of their selected two categories).
They will be allotted two-thirds of the time allotted to the other
students to complete their answers (eg. four instead of six hours).

Students may substitute Women's Studies 602 (Approaches to
Feminist Scholarship in the Social Sciences) or WS/PSYC 655
(Psychology of Women) for PSYC 670 (Research Design and
Evaluation), but they must take either WS/PSYC 655, or WS
602, or PSYC 670
Students may substitute WS 603 (Approaches to Scholarship
on Women of Color) for PSYC 675
(Multicultural Issues in Clinical Practice), but they must take
either WS 603 or PSYC 675
Because there are so many required courses in the Clinical program,
joint students in Women's Studies and Clinical Psychology do
not have to advance to candidacy until the beginning of the
fourth year (ie. they may, if they wish, take three years to complete
all their required coursework). Joint students may also be excused
from teaching in the second semester of their second year.
SUMMARY OF FIRST TWO YEARS FOR WS/CLINICAL STUDENTS
PLEASE NOTE: This model assumes a student who wishes to complete
all the coursework in the first two years, but it is perfectly acceptable
for joint students in the Clinical program to take three years to
complete their coursework (and advance to candidacy), especially if
scheduling conflicts mean that it is not possible to take courses in the
order set out below. Some possible changes in the sequence would
be:
The Assessment sequence in the third rather than the
second year
The Lifespan Psychopathology sequence in the third
rather than the first year
WS 603 or PSYC 675 in the third rather than the first
year
PSYC 775 and PSYC 776 in the third rather than the
second year
It is advisable to complete all requirements as early as possible. Joint
clinical students with a strong Women's Studies background at the
undergraduate level may petition to waive out of WS 530 (Feminist
Theory).

updates, see the web page at http://www.lsa.umich.edu/rll.
Doctor of Philosophy
ADMISSIONS
All accepted students will be admitted directly into the Ph.D. program.
Students admitted into the doctoral program with a relevant M.A.
from another institution will follow the same track as the rest of their
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/romance.html (3 of 9) [3/29/2006 1:53:58 PM]
University of Michigan: Romance Languages and Literatures
cohort until the fourth term. After the fourth term, having completed
the required course work (see Curriculum and Course Requirements
below), they will proceed to the preparation of preliminary
examinations (see Preliminary Examinations below).
MENTORING COMMITTEES
Upon receiving notice of an applicant's acceptance of admission, the
Graduate Committee will name a two-member mentoring committee,
basing its assignment on the following guidelines:
●
●
●
one mentor will be chosen based on compatibility of interests,
insofar as these can be determined from the application
material;
one mentor will be chosen outside the students' stated field(s)
of interest; and
distribution of faculty mentoring assignments should be
appropriately equitable.
A mentoring committee will be expected to:
●
●
●
assist students in conceiving and carrying out a well-balanced
course of study appropriate to their interests (including
consulting with students regarding their course selection inside
and outside the Department, and providing useful contact with
faculty in other disciplines and institutions where appropriate);
review the instructor evaluations placed in the students' files
each term in order to address, monitor, and attempt to resolve
possible problems in the students' academic performance;
advise them on issues of professional preparation such as
conference participation, teaching opportunities, and
publication possibilities.
Mentoring committee members will also participate in students'
Fourth Term Reviews (see Fourth Term Review below) and may
become members of students' preliminary examination (see
Preliminary Examinations below) and doctoral dissertation
committees.
CURRICULUM AND COURSE REQUIREMENTS
In their first three years in the program, students entering without a
relevant MA from another institution need a minimum of 45 hours of
graduate course work. In their first two years in the program,
students entering with a relevant MA from another institution need a
minimum of 30 hours of graduate course work. This course work
includes:
●
●
Four credit hours satisfying the Rackham Graduate School's
cognate requirement.
Three credit hours of 990 in preparation for preliminary
examinations (to be taken in the sixth term for students
entering without a relevant MA., and in the fourth or fifth term
for students entering with a relevant MA).
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/romance.html (4 of 9) [3/29/2006 1:53:58 PM]
University of Michigan: Romance Languages and Literatures
●
●
Romance Languages 681, Introduction to Graduate Study, to
be taken during the first term.
Romance Linguistics 528, Teaching Romance Linguistics, to be
taken in the first semester in which the student is to teach as
a GSI. (This requirement may be waived by permission of the
Elementary Language Director in the section in which the
student is to teach.) Those interested in second language
acquisition as a secondary field may count this course as one
of their cognates.
Consultation with Mentors
Students should select courses in consultation with their mentors.
In consultations with students regarding course selections, mentoring
committees should express the Department faculty's commitment to
the importance of breadth in graduate education, keeping in mind the
many different ways in which such breadth might be conceived and
related to the interests of students.
SECOND LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT
Following discussion with their mentors, students should select a
second language that will be particularly relevant to their research
interests (e.g., Latin for medievalists, Arabic for Maghrebian Studies,
Nahuatl for Mesoamerican Colonial Studies). Students are encouraged
to plan how they will satisfy this second language requirement early
in their graduate studies.
Students are expected to demonstrate a reading proficiency in a
second language before admission to candidacy (no later than the
end of the sixth term, fourth or fifth term for students entering with a
relevant MA from another institution).
This requirement can be satisfied by:
●
●
achieving a grade of B or higher either in a University of
Michigan intensive reading and translation course sequence
(111-112), or in the equivalent of a fourth-semester (or more
advanced) course in the proposed language, taken as an
undergraduate or graduate at Michigan or elsewhere, or;
demonstrating comprehension of an appropriate passage or
passages from a book-length work chosen by the student and
related to the field of intended research. Comprehension will
be evaluated by a faculty member appointed by the Graduate
Chair. The student may demonstrate comprehension either
orally or in writing, either with or without the use of a
dictionary, at the discretion of the faculty member, who will
inform the student in advance of the form of evaluation to be
used.
FOURTH TERM REVIEW
By the end of each student's third term in the program, the Graduate
Chair will appoint a faculty member to join the student's mentoring
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/romance.html (5 of 9) [3/29/2006 1:53:58 PM]
University of Michigan: Romance Languages and Literatures
committee in a review of his or her progress in the program. This
committee, chaired by the appointed faculty member, will meet with
the student by the end of the second month of the student's fourth
term to discuss its review of the student's work and plans.
This committee will review:
●
●
●
●
●
all of the student's term papers, for courses both inside and
outside the Department. If there is no term paper for a
course, the student should select a representative paper,
papers, or writing sample.
if the student has taught, his or her student evaluations and
the Elementary Language Director's written observations on
the student's teaching.
a 4 to 5 page statement in which the student presents a selfassessment of his or her intellectual development during the
first three terms of graduate school at Michigan and outlines
his or her plans for continuing his or her studies. The
statement should detail (a) the student's progress and plans
for acquiring appropriate general knowledge of the student's
field; and (b) the student's plans for identifying and
developing a special area of expertise within that field. The
student should refer specifically to courses already taken and
to plans for further coursework through the end of the third
year.
the student's transcript
the Letters of Evaluation completed by faculty members at the
conclusion of each graduate course.
Discussion with the Committee
Each student will have a formal meeting with his or her review
committee, generally two to four weeks after the dossier has been
submitted.
In this meeting, it is the committee's role to draw upon the dossier
and help the student identify strengths and weaknesses and offer
suggestions for improvement. The committee will also evaluate the
breadth and coherence of the student's coursework and offer
suggestions regarding the student's plans for continuing his or her
general education in his or her field and for identifying and developing
a special area of expertise in which the student would do dissertation
research.
Part of the discussion may be conducted in the student's major
language of specialization.
Results of the Review
Within a week of this discussion, the committee chair will provide the
student with a written summary of its evaluation, comments, and
suggestions. These will include the committee's recommendation to
the Graduate Committee as to whether the student should be allowed
to continue his or her study for the Ph.D.. A negative
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/romance.html (6 of 9) [3/29/2006 1:53:58 PM]
University of Michigan: Romance Languages and Literatures
recommendation is made when the Review Committee believes that a
student will not be able to pass the preliminary examinations or write
an acceptable dissertation. In the event of a negative
recommendation, the student may send the Graduate Committee a
letter replying to the Review Committee report. A final decision on
whether a student may continue in the program or not will be made
by the Graduate Committee.
Applying for an MA Degree
At this point, students who have completed all the requirements can
apply to the Rackham Graduate School for an MA degree. Students
who do this must have completed at least 24 credit hours, including
Romance Linguistics 528 and Romance Languages 681. (Applying for
an MA degree does not automatically indicate termination of studies.)
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS
The Committee
By the end of the first month of the sixth term (fourth or fifth term
for students with a relevant MA from another institution), each
student will form a preliminary examination committee of three
members, which may or may not include members of the mentoring
or review committees at the student's discretion, and which should
include one member named as Chair.
Date of the Prelim
The preliminary examinations must be completed by the end of the
summer between a student's third and fourth years in the program
(second and third years for students with an MA), preferably in May
rather than August.
Structure of the Prelim
The prelim has two parts: a written part and an oral part. There are
two options for the written part. Students should consult their
preliminary examination committee as to which option (A or B) they
should choose.
Option A: Two written exams, based on reading lists devised by the
student and approved by the committee, each of which will focus on
distinct but complementary aspects of the topic that the student
expects to be the subject of his or her dissertation. In forming the
lists with their committee, students will submit a concise statement
(maximum of 5 pages double-spaced) describing the rationale for the
lists and their aims in the examination process. The exams will be in
the form of essay questions. Students will have two weeks for each
take home essay exam, each of which should be no longer than 20
pages.
Option B: A draft portion, of approximately 40 pages, of the
dissertation, with annotated bibliography of works he or she has
studied, is studying, and wants to study for the project. Whether this
draft be an introduction, a chapter, or some other portion, will be
determined by the student and approved by the examination

University of Michigan: Romance Languages and Literatures
committee. In addition, the student will submit a concise (maximum
of 5 pages double-spaced) statement of research purpose and plans.
This option should be taken only by those who have a clear
conception of their dissertation, and have done extensive research on
their topic and methodology.
Oral Discussion
The student will meet with the preliminary examination committee to
discuss the written exams and the direction of dissertation research,
including the nature of the prospectus and portfolio to be presented
(see Prospectus and Portfolio Presentation below).
Results of the Prelim
If the committee determines that the student has passed the
preliminary examination, and provided that all Incompletes have been
removed, the student will be accepted into candidacy and asked to
provide a portfolio and prospectus (see below).
If the committee determines that the student has not passed the
preliminary examination, the committee may, but is not obligated to,
offer the student the opportunity to retake the examination. If no
such opportunity is offered, or if the student does not pass the
retaken examination, the student will be offered the option of
applying to the Rackham Graduate School for a terminal MA
PROSPECTUS AND PORTFOLIO PRESENTATION
Prospectus Date
By December 1 of the fourth year (third year for students with a
relevant MA from another institution), each student will present to,
and discuss with, the preliminary examination committee a
dissertation prospectus of 10-15 pages double-spaced.
Description of the Prospectus
Students should consult with the Chair of their dissertation committee
to establish the content and structure of the prospectus.
Portfolio Date
By October 1 of the academic year in which they plan to complete the
dissertation, students will present to the members of their
dissertation committee a portfolio.
Description of the Portfolio
The portfolio will include a written statement of the student's
conception of how his or her research program and teaching or
related experiences lend themselves to employment in a given field
as he or she currently conceives it, a list of materials, broadly
conceived, that have contributed to the student's preparation, as well
as whatever other materials are specifically appropriate to the field
described.

include 3 sample syllabi, one each for possible courses to be
taught at the introductory undergraduate level, the advanced
undergraduate level, and the graduate level, as well as notes
on approaches for teaching given topics.
Ph.D. DISSERTATION AND ORAL DEFENSE
The Ph.D. dissertation must be based upon original investigation and
demonstrate mature scholarship and critical judgment as well as
familiarity with the tools and methods of research. It should be a
worthwhile contribution to knowledge in the student's special field.

Degree Programs of the Department
Scientific Computing:
Ph.D.
Interdepartmental Degree Programs
In addition to specific requirements listed below, see Chapter 8 of the
Graduate Student Handbook for general regulations. The degree in
Scientific Computing must be taken in conjunction with another
doctoral degree.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: Because this is an interdisciplinary program, each
applicant must have a "home" department. Almost any Ph.D. granting
department or school of the University is an acceptable 'home"
department; in case of doubt, please contact the Director at the
address above. The degree citation will explicitly list the "home"
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/scicomputing.html (2 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:54:00 PM]
University of Michigan: Scientific Computing
department, i.e., "Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmacy and Scientific
Computing," etc.
The student must apply to the "home" department and indicate an
interest in the Scientific Computing program (with the appropriate
program numerical code) on the application. The specific
requirements for undergraduate background, letters of
recommendation, standard tests such as the Graduate Record
Examination, and so on are determined by the "home" department.
The applicant is encouraged to contact the Center for Advanced
Computing for a copy of the student handbook for the program.
Minimum Number of Credits Required: 42. Normally all credits
must be lecture or laboratory courses, but well-prepared students
may petition to count reading or research courses as part of the total.
Specific Course Requirements: The student is required to complete
24 credits in the "home" department plus nine credits of numerical
analysis and nine credits of either computer science or technical
subjects outside the "home" department. (The appendix to the
student handbook for Scientific Computing lists a number of
representative programs of study for students from several different
"home" areas. The program is flexible, but the goal is to master both
the "home" area plus computing skills where the latter includes
numerical analysis, parallel computing, scientific visualization, and so
on.
Preliminary and Qualifying Examinations: These exams will be
held at the same time and in the same format as the examinations
for the student's "home" department. However, the content of the
examination will be modified so that the student will be tested both
on elementary numerical analysis (required of all students in
Scientific Computing, regardless of "home") and also disciplinespecific advanced numerical analysis. The student will also be tested
on "home" department subjects, but not as extensively as students
who are in the same department but not enrolled in Scientific
Computing.
Foreign Language Requirement: Determined by the "home"
department. Many departments participating in the program have no
language requirement. Mathematics requires two foreign languages
for doctoral students, but students in Mathematics and Scientific
Computing are required to know only one foreign language.
All students are expected to have computer programming experience
in at least one major programming language.
Work Experience: None.
Thesis: The student's dissertation must conform to the usual
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/scicomputing.html (3 of 4) [3/29/2006 1:54:00 PM]
University of Michigan: Scientific Computing
Rackham requirements. In addition, scientific computing must be an
important part of the research described in the thesis.
To enforce this requirement, the "outside" member of the dissertation
committee (that is, the representative who is not a member of the
student's "home" department) will be a faculty member or primary
researcher who is active in the Center for Advanced Computing.
Where possible, the dissertation committee should also include at
least one member from the home department who is involved in
scientific computing, preferable the committee chair.

Certificate Program
Certificate in Film Studies
A Certificate in Film Studies is a non-degree credential with the aim of
giving students admitted to or already enrolled in a graduate degree
program at the University of Michigan specialized knowledge in the
study of film and related forms of the moving image. The Certificate
is designed to provide students pursuing graduate studies in various
fields the opportunity to integrate humanistic inquiry into film with
their primary area of interest and to enhance their versatility as
potential teachers and scholars in a broad range of disciplines and
areas of intellectual investigation. The Certificate is intended to help
students strengthen their analytical skills, understand the dynamic
history of film, and develop an awareness of the theoretical and
aesthetic issues that have fueled debates in the field. The Certificate
allows students to pursue film studies in an interdisciplinary fashion
at the same time that they gain an appreciation of it as a discrete

Ph.D. Mission Statement
The Ph.D. program at University of Michigan's Department of Screen
Arts & Cultures is dedicated to the study of media produced for
exhibition/display on and consumption through the screens of the
19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. We regard the screen as a point of
intersection where various industries, audiences, and modes of
representation converge and from which a range of ideologies,
identities, and cultural formations emerge. In turn, our emphasis on
media "cultures" derives from our faculty's interdisciplinary research
and teaching interests, including cinema, television, video, digital and
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/sac.html (2 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:54:01 PM]
University of Michigan: Screen Arts & Cultures
on-line media. The program's curriculum is intercultural in focus and
international in scope, designed to acknowledge "convergence" and
"interdisciplinarity" as definitive features of media and media studies
in the 21st century. Thus, the mission of Screen Arts & Cultures is to
provide the aesthetic, pedagogical and theoretical tools for our
doctoral students to engage film studies, television studies, and
digital media and their various social, national, cultural, and/or
historical contexts as the film, television and digital media scholars of
the new millennium.
Funding support
Accepted candidates will be awarded five years of support through a
combination of fellowships and graduate student instructorships
(GSI). In the course of their study, students also will become eligible
for further forms of funding such as the Rackham Humanities
Research Fellowship and various Dissertation Fellowships, in
competition with other University of Michigan doctoral candidates.
Degree requirements
Students must complete a total of 39 credit hours of coursework for
the doctoral degree. As per Rackham rules, they must complete at
least 18 of those credit hours on the Ann Arbor campus. In the first
year, students are strongly advised to take 9 hours of courses in each
of the two initial terms; among them must be SAC 600: Introduction

Language requirement: In order to master a wide range of critical
work, Screen Arts & Cultures doctoral students must demonstrate
proficiency in at least one language other than English.
Demonstration of proficiency must occur by the end of the second
year, prior to the preliminary exam. Proficiency is determined by
successful completion of either an advanced undergraduate course in
a foreign language (with a grade no lower than B-) or, in the case of
students whose dissertation will involve specific area studies (i.e.,
Asian Languages and Literatures), at least one graduate-level course
offered in a language specific to that area (with a grade no lower than
B). When appropriate, the deadline for fulfilling this requirement may
be extended with the Graduate Program Committee's approval.
Preliminary Examination Preparation: By the end of their fourth
term, students must submit a proposal for their preliminary
examinations. The proposal should indicate the names of three faculty
members who are to serve as their preliminary exam committee,
three fields of specialization in which the student will be examined,
and a working bibliography/filmography for those three fields. In
preparation for that exam, and for the subsequent dissertation,
students also should complete the fifth required core course: SAC
700: Directed Research
Preliminary Exam: The Preliminary exam should be completed no
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/humanities.arts/sac.html (4 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:54:01 PM]
University of Michigan: Screen Arts & Cultures
later than the sixth term of a student's enrollment in the doctoral
program. The exam itself will be composed of two parts: 1) a threepart written exam covering the three approved fields of specialization,
each of which will require completion of an essay, and 2) a two-hour
oral exam covering other questions devoted to the three approved
fields of specialization.
Dissertation Proposal: By the end of the term that follows the
completion of the Preliminary Exam, students must submit a formal
written dissertation proposal, 25 pages in length. The dissertation
proposal should provide an overview and analysis of the field(s) to
which the candidate's scholarship will contribute, identifying major
debates that characterize the field. It should clearly identify the topic
and argument of the dissertation, its organization, the methodologies
to be used, and a research plan (including archives to be consulted
and a timetable).
Dissertation committee: Candidates should submit a dissertation
committee of at least four members soon after successful completion
of the Preliminary Exam. One member must hold an outside
appointment in a cognate field related to the student's dissertation
topic. In order to monitor each student's progress on the dissertation,
the Graduate Program Committee recommends that students arrange
regularly scheduled meetings with their dissertation committee chairs
and make use of the new gradtools website.
Pedagogical training
Prior to the first term of a GSIship, students will participate in the
New GSI Teaching Orientation organized by CRLT. They also will
participate in two workshops organized by Screen Arts & Cultures:
one to be held shortly after the CRLT Orientation and the other at the
midpoint of the term that they first act as GSIs. The first workshop
will consider pedagogical issues specific to Screen Arts & Cultures and
involve a variety of informative exercises. The second will have the
new GSIs meet with several faculty and experienced GSIs to address
issues and questions that have arisen in their courses.
Future Plans
In contrast to many doctoral programs, Screen Arts & Cultures seeks
to implement a fruitful interaction between studies and production
classes. Particularly appreciated at the undergraduate level, such
interaction would enrich and benefit the professional profile of our
graduates. In the present program, the Seminar in Material Practices
focuses on the "cultures of production" and is taught by studies and
production faculty in alternation. In the future, we hope to add a

University of Michigan: Screen Arts & Cultures
practicum course that would involve both production and the critical
study of a particular media subject (e.g., documentary, experimental
video) and would be team-taught by production and studies faculty.
In addition to the specific requirements listed, see the Doctoral
Degrees section of the Graduate Student Handbook.

Degree Program in Women's Studies and
Sociology
Doctor of Philosophy
The doctoral program in Women's Studies and Sociology is designed
to serve students whose interests are not well represented by an
exclusively disciplinary program. Such students need conceptual and
methodological tools that are grounded in the interdisciplinary
perspective of the Women's Studies Program.
In the interdepartmental doctoral program, students have the
opportunity to work out an interdisciplinary approach to a research
problem from an early point in training, with a faculty committee that
can provide shaping direction. They benefit from the kind of
interdisciplinary mentorship that is necessary to develop and
complete an interdisciplinary dissertation.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: Any student with a bachelor's degree, including those
already enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Michigan,
are eligible to apply. Applicants should have demonstrated academic
excellence and should have prior experience in Women's Studies.
Admitted students will be expected to participate actively in both of
the academic programs with which they are associated.
The Doctoral Program Committee of the Women's Studies Program
will take responsibility for the initial screening of applications. Likely
candidates will be sent to the Sociology Department, where they will
be considered for admission. Offers of admission to the
interdepartmental program are only made after both units have
granted their approval.
Course Requirements:There are separate course requirements for
Women's Studies and Sociology
Women's Studies:
Joint doctoral students take four required courses in Women's
Studies:
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/womenstsoc.html (3 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:54:06 PM]
University of Michigan: Sociology and Women's Studies
1. Women's Studies 501: Proseminar in Women's Studies (1
credit)
2. Theories of Feminism, Women's Studies 530.
Theories of Feminism (Women's Studies 530) provides an
interdisciplinary exploration of various schools of feminist
thought. Specific content varies, depending on the particular
interests of the instructor. Recent courses have included
examples of classic and less well-known theoretical texts;
comparison of themes current in the humanities and social
sciences; challenges to "traditional" feminist theory from
women of color. Courses in feminist cultural or political theory
are alternatives for students with strong undergraduate
backgrounds in feminist theory.
3. Approaches to Feminist Scholarship in the Humanities (601) or
Approaches to Feminist Scholarship on Women of Color (603).
The Approaches to Feminist Scholarship courses are designed
to examine various theoretical, substantive and
methodological issues in feminist scholarship in relation to the
paradigms of traditional disciplines.
4. WS 891 Advanced Research.
WS891 brings students and faculty together both to discuss
issues in interdisciplinary feminist scholarship, and to support
students' development of their own interdisciplinary research
projects.
In addition to these core courses, joint doctoral students take 9
additional hours of graduate coursework, chosen from among
Women's Studies offerings and cross-listed courses provided by other
departments.
At least one of these courses must be an interdisciplinary Women's
Studies course and must include substantial coverage of theoretical
issues.
Student Reviews: Review of the student's progress will take place
during the fifth term. One member of the Interdepartmental Doctoral
Program Committee or the student's advisor in the joint program will
participate in the Sociology department review which takes place at
COCEP. Similarly, at least one Sociology Department faculty member
will participate in any Women's Studies review of the student's
progress.
Candidacy: Students advance to candidacy when they have
completed 43 graduate credits. Both cooperating units aim to ensure
that students make timely progress to candidacy, typically by the
beginning of the fourth year. Ordinarily, students advancing to
candidacy should have developed a dissertation topic and a
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/womenstsoc.html (4 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:54:06 PM]
University of Michigan: Sociology and Women's Studies
committee.
Preliminary Examination: Students will be required to pass two
preliminary exams, one in Sociology, and one in Women's Studies.
The latter comprises the research paper completed in WS 891 which
the student defends orally before a prelim committee. This prelim
committee should include at least one member from Women's Studies
who is not also appointed in Sociology and one member from the
Sociology Department who is not also appointed in Women's Studies.
Dissertation: The dissertation topic needs to draw fully from the
theories and methods in both Women's Studies and Sociology. It
should be developed with the doctoral committee which must be
interdisciplinary. Like the prelim committee, the doctoral committee
must be approved by the Interdepartmental Doctoral Program
Committee. It must include at least one faculty member appointed in
Women's Studies but not in Sociology, one member appointed in
Sociology, but not in Women's Studies, and up to two jointly
appointed in both units. This committee will discuss and formally
approve the dissertation prospectus.

Master of Arts
THE REGULAR MASTERS PROGRAM
The regular Masters degree (Master of Arts in Statistics) is regarded
by the Department as a dual degree earned while a student is
working towards a Ph.D. degree in Statistics or in another field. A
student who is interested in only a Masters degree in Statistics should
apply to the Masters Program in Applied Statistics, and not to this
program.
Within the Masters program there are several options, and some
flexibility within each option. Specific degree requirements for each of
these options are to be detailed below.
Application and Admission: Applicants must have already been
accepted in a Rackham graduate program. The student is expected to
have a working knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, and
introductory probability and statistics. Prospective students are
encouraged to consult with the Graduate Chair in the Statistics prior
to application. Students should apply by submitting a Change in
Status form to the Statistics Graduate Chair. Admission will be
determined by the Statistics Graduate Chair (in consultation with the
"Statistics Coordinator" in the student's program where appropriate).
The application must also be approved by the Graduate advisor in the
student's home department. Applications are accepted at any time.
Curriculum: This program requires a minimum of 24 credit hours of
course work that includes two cognate courses. The program must be
approved by the Graduate Chair and must include the following
courses:
A. Statistics 500 (Applied Statistics 1) and Statistics 501
(Applied Statistics II). (6 credit hours)
B. Biostatistics 601/ Biostatistics 602 (Probability/Theoretical
Statistics) or Statistics 510/511 (Mathematical Statistics I and
II). (minimum 6 credit hours)
C. Two statistics courses from graduate-level courses listed by
the Statistics Department. (6 credit hours).
D. Two cognate courses from another department. (minimum
6 credit hours)
More advanced courses may be substituted for required courses by
well-prepared students in the Ph.D. program. In addition, a student
who has completed courses that substantially overlap with any of the
required courses may, with permission, substitute other graduate
courses in Statistics or closely related fields for them.
Options in Other Departments
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/stat.html (3 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:54:07 PM]
University of Michigan: Statistics
The Departments of Statistics has agreements with the Departments
of Economics, Psychology, and Sociology, and the School of Education
whereby a doctoral student in any of these disciplines may earn a
Masters degree in Statistics. Each of these academic units has a
"Statistics Coordinator" serving as consultant to the Graduate Chair in
the Department of Statistics. A doctoral student in any other
department may receive special counseling toward a Masters degree
in Statistics by applying to the Statistics Department Graduate Chair.
For Important Dual/Joint Degree Credit Information click here
Option in Econometrics: A doctoral student in the Department of
Economics must replace the core requirements A and C by, C. Four
statistics courses from graduate-level courses listed by the Statistics
Department. (12 credit hours). At least 12 of the credit hours of
course work must be obtained by enrolling in graduate-level statistics
courses listed with Statistics as the home department. Special
arrangements can also be made with permission of the Graduate
Chair in consultation with the "Statistics Coordinator" in Economics.
Option in Psychology: Core requirements C & D provide flexibility
to create a program of study that complements the student's
research interests. Statistics 414 cannot be used to satisfy core
requirements C& D. Special arrangements can also be made with
permission of the Graduate Chair in consultation with the "Statistics
Coordinator" in Psychology.
Option in Sociology: It is recommended that a doctoral student in
the Department of Sociology take advanced statistical methodology
classes such as Sociology 542 or Survey Methodology 612 to fulfill the
cognate requirement (D). Special arrangements can also be made
with permission of the Graduate Chair in consultation with the
"Statistics Coordinator" in Sociology.
Option in Quantitative Methods in Education: It is recommended
that a doctoral student in the Quantitative Methods in Education
program of the School of Education take Education 637. He/she may
use Education 637 toward the cognate requirement (D). Special
arrangements can also be made with permission of the Graduate
Chair in consultation with the "Statistics Coordinator" in Education.
Thesis or Research Essay: None
Master of Arts in Applied Statistics
The Masters in Applied Statistics is intended to equip the student for a
career as an applied statistician working in government, industry,
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/stat.html (4 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:54:07 PM]
University of Michigan: Statistics
research institutions, engineering and consulting firms, health care
organizations, public utilities, and so on.
These degree programs are not interdepartmental programs,
although they do rely, in part, on courses offered by the Biostatistics,
Computer Science, Economics, Industrial and Operations Engineering,
Mathematics, Sociology, and other Departments.
Admission: We recommend that a prospective student has had some
calculus, linear algebra, and one course each in probability and
mathematical statistics. Students without these prerequisite courses
will generally elect them in their first year, with no credit toward the
requirements for the degree.
For other admission requirements see the section on Admission
above.
The Curriculum: The program consists of at least 30 credit hours (10
courses) of graduate studies. You may take more than 10.
Core courses in the program are:
●
●
●
●
Statistics 500 (Applied Statistics I)
Biostatistics 601, 602 (Probability and Theoretical Statistics)
Statistics 504 (Statistical Consulting)
and any four from Statistics 406, 430, 501, 502, 503, 506,
526, 531, 535, 550, 552, 560, 561, 570, 580, or any
approved 600 or higher-level Statistics course. Substitutions
are allowed with approval from the Graduate Chair.
Two graduate level cognate courses (taken outside the Department of
Statistics or cross-listed with another department) must also be
taken. These courses must be approved by the Graduate Chair.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: The student is expected to have successfully completed
a bachelor's degree including courses in advanced calculus, linear
algebra, introductory probability or mathematical statistics. Letters of
recommendation are required. General Aptitude GRE scores are
required.
Range of Enrollment: 48 hours of course work before admission to
candidacy including at least 18 hours in statistics courses at the 600level (600-699). In certain cases, advanced mathematics courses
may be substituted for 600-level statistics courses. These hours may
include the 24 hours required for the master's degree.
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/physical.sci/stat.html (5 of 6) [3/29/2006 1:54:07 PM]
University of Michigan: Statistics
Specific Course Requirements: All doctoral students must
complete the following courses: Statistics 500-501; Statistics 610611-612; Statistics 620-621; and Statistics 810-811.
Qualifying Examination: Each doctoral student must pass a
qualifying review exam covering topics in applied statistics,
probability, and theoretical statistics. The examination is in three
parts. Part I covers probability, Part II covers theoretical statistics,
and Part III covers applied statistics. Course that are helpful in
preparing for Part I are Statistics 620 and 621; for Part II, useful
courses are Statistics 610 and 611; and for Part III, useful courses
are Statistics 500 and 501. Students who perform sufficiently well in
course work will be permitted to take the exam in two out of three
areas.
The qualifying review will usually be given once each year, in May. To
remain in good standing, a Ph.D. student is expected to have passed
the exam by the end of the second year, and is strongly encouraged
to take it at the end of the first year. At most, two attempts are
permitted. When a student has passed the qualifying review, the
Master's-Doctoral Committee will help him or her seek out a faculty
advisor, and the advisor will help the student determine a plan for
completing the course requirements and preparing for the
dissertation proposal.
Foreign Language Requirement: None.
Work Experience Requirement: None.
Preliminary Examination: After completing a dissertation
prospectus, a student will take an oral examination on the prospectus
and background material.
Dissertation Prospectus: Each student must prepare a short paper
which identifies an interesting unsolved problem and outlines an
approach for resolving it.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

University of Michigan: Survey Methodology
Master of Science in Survey Methodology
Students in the MS program complete courses in each of four areas:
statistical methods, survey methodology, practica, and a cognate.
Cognate areas can range from market research, to cognitive
psychology, sociology, political science, economics, anthropology,
public policy, information sciences, and various fields in public health.
All master’s students complete courses in statistical methods offered
in the departments of biostatistics, psychology, sociology and
statistics. Students emphasizing the social science aspects of survey
methodology must complete a minimum if six credit hours in
statistical methods, and those emphasizing the statistical aspects
must complete a minimum of 12.
The major portion of the coursework consists of at least 18 credits in
data collection and sampling methods plus one three-credit elective in
survey methodology. Mastery of practical skills in survey methodology
is also a program requirement. Students complete the Detroit Area
Study, a comprehensive program of survey research training, and
also develop research-consulting skills through a survey design
seminar. In addition, students fulfill an internship requirement,
typically completed between the first and second years of a full-time
program.
Doctor of Philosophy in Survey
Methodology
The Ph.D. program in survey methodology prepares students for
research careers in a variety of settings, including academe, the
private sector, and government agencies. Students at the doctoral
level develop research interests in depth and, as scholars, contribute
to new knowledge in the field through their dissertation research. By
working as research assistants with various faulty on research
projects throughout their program of study, students are exposed to
a broad range of survey methodology issues. Formal course
requirements are minimized to provide sufficient time for research
and to allow students to elect courses that meet their specific
interests in the field.
Students admitted to the Ph.D. program typically have completed a
course of study equivalent to the master’s degree program in survey
methodology (see the master’s degree section above).
Students with only part of this background may be admitted to the
Ph.D. program, but will be expected to complete master’s degree
program requirements during the first year of Ph.D. coursework.
All doctoral students must take the qualifying examination no later
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/psm.html (3 of 5) [3/29/2006 1:54:08 PM]
University of Michigan: Survey Methodology
than the end of the first year. The qualifying examination is written
without aids during a one-day examination period and covers the
content of the master’s degree program of study.
The Ph.D. program coursework consists of a minimum of 18 credits of
survey methodology and cognate courses, including the two-term
doctoral seminar sequence typically taken in the second year. Faculty
from both the social science and statistics disciplines jointly teach the
doctoral seminars. The first seminar introduces students to the
integration of social and statistical science approaches in the design,
collection, and analysis of surveys. The second seminar develops and
refines doctoral students’ skills in survey methodology, particularly
toward identification of research problems, specification of
hypotheses to extend current understanding of the field, and planning
for original research in survey methodology.
During the second year of study, students identify a specialty area
within survey methodology to develop intellectual depth and breadth
to their specific research areas. At the conclusion of the second year
of study, the comprehensive examination advances the student to
candidacy, typically at the beginning of the third year of study.
Together with the guidance of a doctoral committee, candidates
propose and conduct dissertation research that leads to an original
scholarly contribution. All dissertation committees in the survey
methodology program are interdisciplinary and draw members from
both the social and statistical sciences disciplines. The Ph.D. program
in survey methodology can be accomplished in four years of study,
but most students find that five years are required for successful
completion of the program.
For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination,
and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.
Certificate in Survey Methodology
The Certificate program is designed to provide graduate students with
specialized knowledge in survey methodology. To be eligible to enroll
in the certificate program, graduate students must be enrolled in a
post-baccalaureate program at the University of Michigan or have
completed a master’s or doctoral degree at an accredited institution
within the last five years. Students interested in a certificate typically
have exposure to survey research or methods in their workplace
environment or in a previous or concurrent degree program.
Fifteen to 17 credit hours are required, including one three-credit
elective course. The program can be completed during a fall, winter,

Certificate of Graduate Studies
Admission: Any student with a Bachelor's degree who has been
admitted to or who is currently enrolled in a related graduate
program at the University of Michigan (Business, Civil and
Environmental Engineering, Economics, Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science, Industrial and Operations Engineering, Institute of
Labor and Industrial Relations, Law, Mechanical Engineering, Urban
and Regional Planning, and Urban, Technological, and Environmental
Planning) will be eligible to apply to the Certificate in Transportation
Studies: Transportation and Logisitics (CTS) Program. All applicants
are expected to have a minimum background in mathematics and
physics, equivalent to one year of college calculus and one term of
college physics (electricity). Those applying to Rackham for admission
to the Certificate Program and to a related degree program must
submit two applications. Students who are already enrolled in
Rackham and who wish to pursue the Certificate must submit a
Change of Field application, marked Dual-Degree, to the Graduate
School Admission's Office. The CTS advisor will meet with the
applicant to develop a program of study.
The CTS program has been designed also for part-time students from
industry and government agencies. Any student who has received a
Master's or Ph.D. degree within the past five years in one of the areas
listed above will be eligible to apply to the CTS without concurrent
enrollment in a graduate-level degree program.
Financial aid is available for selected students enrolled in the
Certificate Program.
Specific Course Requirements: CTS requires completion of 15
credit hours, which includes three courses: CEE 470, Transportation
Engineering; EECS 515 ITS Lab; and EECS 510 ITS Research Topics.

Doctor of Philosophy in Urban and
Regional Planning (URP)
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/urban.html (6 of 8) [3/29/2006 1:54:10 PM]
University of Michigan: Urban and Regional Planning
Admission: Applicants from any field will be considered. Official
transcripts, three letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose
demonstrating maturity and clarity of purpose in pursuing advanced
doctoral study, and examples of relevant work are required. GRE
required for all applicants. TOEFL or MELAB scores required for all
applicants whose native language is other than English, international
applicants who received degrees from U.S. institutions may waive
these tests.
Range of Enrollment: Two years of formal course work which
typically involves 24-36 credit hours before candidacy is achieved and
dissertation research begins.
General Requirements: The Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Planning
(URP) is an interdisciplinary degree designed to prepare graduates for
careers in planning academia, research, and advanced practice. The
degree is aimed at training mature individuals from a broad range of
backgrounds who seek to integrate knowledge for research and
analysis in public- and private-sector planning and policy formulation.
URP addresses complex systems that typically encompass an array of
environmental, social, political, technical, and economic factors.
Consequently, students are trained to become planning scholars
whose work draws on and contributes to a range of disciplines.
Students must demonstrate breadth and depth of knowledge and
research through the completion of formal course work, submission of
an interdisciplinary paper that demonstrates an ability to synthesize
or integrate knowledge, and the successful completion of a
specialization exam that demonstrates an understanding of the
literature, theory, and research in an area within Urban and Regional
Planning.
Course Requirements: Each student works with a faculty advisor to
define an individualized plan of study that draws from courses and
resources available throughout the University. While this plan of study
is intended to reflect the individual's areas of interest, it is structured
around the required areas of study for the degree and covers topics
of analytic methods, interdisciplinary studies, and a substantive
planning focus. In addition, all students must participate in a core
seminar and a research seminar given by faculty in the Urban and
Regional Planning Program. The core seminar examines diverse
aspects of planning practice and theory from an interdisciplinary
perspective and considers ethical issues related to components of the
planning process. The research seminar exposes students to various
approaches to planning research and enables them to gain experience
in developing an appropriate research design, in executing the
research, and formally presenting the results of their research at a
special symposium held at the end of the seminar. In addition, all
students take a seminar on advanced urban theory.
Work Experience: Each student must submit evidence of relevant
work experience in any combination of teaching, non-dissertation
research, or professional work in planning-related activities. Prior
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/social.sci/urban.html (7 of 8) [3/29/2006 1:54:10 PM]
University of Michigan: Urban and Regional Planning
work experience submitted at the time of admission, experience
gained while enrolled, or a combination of both, may be used.
Pre-candidacy and Candidacy: There are two stages involved in
achieving all degree requirements. The first is pre-candidacy and the
second is candidacy (dissertation research and defense).
Precandidacy involves course work, the successful completion of
qualifying area requirements, an interdisciplinary paper, a
dissertation prospectus, and a candidacy hearing. Candidacy is
certification that all requirements have been met except the
dissertation. The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Urban and
Regional Planning is granted upon the successful completion and
defense of the dissertation.
Rackham candidacy requirements are described in the "Candidacy"
section of the Graduate Student Handbook. For information on the
dissertation committee, final oral examination, and publication of
dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

University of Michigan: Women's Studies
Studies, History & Women's Studies, Psychology & Women's Studies,
and Sociology and Women's Studies are designed to serve the needs
of students whose interests are not well represented by an exclusively
disciplinary program. These students need conceptual and
methodological tools that are grounded in the interdisciplinary
perspective of the Women's Studies Program. In the
interdepartmental doctoral program, they will have the opportunity to
work out an interdisciplinary approach to a research problem from an
early point in their training, with a faculty committee that can provide
shaping direction. These students will benefit from the kind of
interdisciplinary mentorship that is necessary to develop and
complete an interdisciplinary dissertation. Specific information can be
obtained from the Program Office.
Certificate Program of the Department
Certificate of Graduate Studies
In addition to the specific requirements listed there, see the
Certificate Programs section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Certificate of Graduate Studies
Designed for students already enrolled in a graduate degree program
at the University of Michigan, the Certificate in Women's Studies
consists of graduate course work totaling 15 credit hours. The
Certificate, which can be combined with either a master's or a
doctoral degree, aims to provide:
●
●
an historical perspective on Women's Studies and a
simultaneous focus on issues of gender, race, class, and
ethnicity both across and within disciplines; analyses of
contemporary theoretical frameworks, methodologies, issues,
and topics and their relation to traditional disciplines;
an opportunity to broaden and enrich analytical skills in one or
more disciplines while drawing on the interdisciplinary
perspectives of Women's Studies.
Admission: Any student with a bachelor's degree who has been
admitted to or is currently enrolled in a graduate program at the
University of Michigan is eligible to apply for a Graduate Certificate in
Women's Studies. Applicants should have at least a "B" average in
their graduate course work (or undergraduate for entering students)
and should have prior experience in Women's Studies, such as course
or written work. Transcripts for all post-secondary work and two
letters of recommendation are required. Contact the Women's Studies

It is possible for Rackham students, with the approval of their
departments, to apply non-Rackham course credits toward Rackham
degree requirements, usually as cognates. They may do so by
completing courses offered by non-Rackham graduate or professional
programs. For courses to be included on the following list, they must
meet the academic standards outlined in Rackham's, "Guidelines for
Graduate Course Approval," and be taught by either a regular
member of the faculty or an instructor whose credentials qualify them
to teach at the graduate level.

Some of the courses on the following list are offered by Rackham
programs but are not applicable toward their own graduate degree
requirements. These courses are considered by the Rackham home
department to be graduate level work only for students in other
departments--because they expect their own students to have
mastered the course material previously (e.g., as undergraduates).
Please note that graduate credit will not be granted simply on the
argument that some graduate students wish or need to know the
material.
Once Rackham has accepted the course, the Office of the Registrar
