Track A (Disciplinary Concentration)

Electives for Disciplinary Concentration

Nine semester units chosen from one of the following six disciplines at the 5000-level or above, or as approved by the major advisor and program coordinator. 

  • Anthropology
  • Economics
  • Geography
  • History
  • Political Science
  • Sociology

Only six semester units may be taken as independent study or Directed Readings/Directed Research. Independent Study or Directed Readings/Research courses will involve research that builds on the methods and theories of the student's disciplinary concentration and contribute to the student's thesis/special field.

All coursework must be chosen in consultation with the disciplinary advisor (members of the affiliated faculty representing the corresponding disciplines). All electives must be 5000-level courses or above unless approved by the coordinator.
