GRADUATE STUDY OPPORTUNITIES

The residency faculty encourages students enrolled in the college's master's degree programs to participate in the residency. Your participation can take several paths, including graduate-level versions of listed electives, a 1-credit residency-based course, and an environmental focus to the work you are doing in Models of Critical Inquiry.

Graduate students wishing to take a graduate level version of a residency course should consult with their advisor and the course instructor before registering.

Here are some possibilities:
  1. For students who have approved degree programs:

    If one of the residency courses covers topics included in your degree program, you may, with the consent of your advisor and the instructor, enroll for the graduate-level version of that course. Separate graduate learning contracts both allow for greater flexibility and build in graduate-level expectations for critical writing, research, and analysis.

  2. For students still planning their degree programs:

    If you are in the early stages of your program and anticipate designing a curriculum focusing on environmental issues, you may take a graduate-level version of one of the offered electives. You also may work with your advisor to design a 1-credit elective based on the residency activities and subsequent research. If you are an M.A.L.S. student taking Perspectives in the fall, you can take a 2-credit or 4-credit elective at the same time that will help inform the planning of your degree.

  3. For incoming students in the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies degree program:

    Incoming students whose degrees will focus on the environment should strongly consider attending the residency. You may either enroll for a 4-credit residency-based course or use the residency to inform the work you will do in Models of Critical Inquiry. Consult with the chair of the M.A.L.S. or your regional coordinator for further information about this possibility.
