Marousek, Neil L. Meyer, Edgar L. Michalson, James R. Nelson, Paul E. Patterson, Neil R. Rimby, David J. Walker, Russell V. Withers.

Graduate training in agricultural economics encompasses commercial agriculture, natural resources, and rural development economics. Emphasis also is put on training in agricultural development and international trade.

The commercial agriculture area includes the economics of production and distribution, agribusiness management, and agricultural policy. Natural resource economics involves the evaluation of alternative uses of such resources as land (including resources obtained from land), air, and water. Rural development encompasses the economics of off-farm migration, rural education and services, community development, rural taxation, and low income and employment problems. Agricultural development and trade involves preparation for using economic tools in farm management, farming systems analysis, production, and marketing in an international framework.

Students initiating graduate work in agricultural economics should have a background in economics and quantitative methods. The following specific course areas are recommended: economic principles, six credits; statistics, three credits; mathematics, through introductory calculus; applied economics and/or agricultural economics, nine credits. Individual graduate programs are tailored to allow students to take courses and develop thesis proposals in line with their professional interests.

Master of Science Program

Candidates must fulfill the requirements of the Graduate College and of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology. See part 2 for the applicable general requirements.

The M.S. program in agricultural economics is designed to prepare students for management, research, and policy positions in the public and private sectors of the economy, and for further graduate study. Specific departmental requirements for the thesis option include 24 credits of course work including the following: AgEc 507; AgEc 509; either AgEc 525 or Stat 401; and two courses selected from AgEc 528, AgEc 524, and AgEc 551. In addition to the 24 credits of course work, six thesis credits (AgEc 500) are normally used to complete the total of 30 credits required by the College of Graduate Studies. Students may take a nonthesis option M.S. degree. Under this option a student will take a minimum of 27 credits of course work including departmental course requirements. In addition, a three-credit paper will be written and presented by the student addressing a topic determined jointly by the student and the student's graduate committee. This option is directed at students not receiving financial support from research funds.

Norell, Ronald P. Richard, Richard A. Roeder, William K. Sanchez, R. Garth Sasser, Gerald T. Schelling, Alton C. S. Ward, Gordon L. Woods, Jerry Zaugg.

The Department of Animal and Veterinary Science offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science degree with a major in animal or veterinary science and a Doctor of Philosophy degree with a major in animal physiology. The department offers areas of specialization in nutrition, reproductive physiology, embryo physiology, animal growth and development, meat science, and animal diseases with orientation towards beef cattle, dairy cattle, horses, sheep, and fish. The department also participates in university interdisciplinary programs in reproductive biology, and molecular and agricultural genetic engineering.

Graduate work in the department is designed to prepare the student for work in research, extension, teaching, and industry. Thesis projects are diverse in scope and range in design from studying very fundamental biological questions to application of scientific knowledge to animal production and management. Facilities available for graduate student research include herds and flocks of major livestock breeds, ruminant nutrition and physiology laboratories, biomedical research laboratories, a university-operated dairy, meat science laboratory, and a 500-head experimental feedlot. Active cooperation is maintained with federal research agencies located on and off campus.

Graduate student assistantships are available on a competitive basis each year. Inquiries should be directed to the department's graduate program coordinator.

Degree Programs

Candidates must fulfill the requirements of the Graduate College and of the Department of Animal and Veterinary Science. See part 2 for the general requirements applicable to all degrees.

Acceptance of students not having this minimum grade-point average is possible, subject to recommendation by the department's Graduate Committee. Applicants must submit scores received on the Graduate Record Examination general (aptitude) test.

The M.S. degree requires a minimum of 30 credits, at least 18 of which must be in courses numbered 500 and above. No more than 10 of the 500-level credits may be from research and thesis. Courses at the 300 level in supporting fields may be used as part of the M.S. degree program. All graduate students are required to complete the departmental graduate seminar twice during the degree program. Students are also required to assist with teaching during their graduate training.

Applicants for the M.S. degree program in animal science who have completed their undergraduate program in fields that are not closely related to animal science will be required to complete deficiency courses as determined by the candidate's committee and approved by the department's Graduate Committee. The following are considered essential in an applicant's undergraduate program: chemistry and biochemistry (minimum of 12 credits); calculus; animal nutrition; animal breeding; physiology and/or endocrinology; one products course; and one animal production and management course. Specific animal production courses may be required as determined on an individual candidate basis.

Prospective students for the M.S. degree in veterinary science are expected to have either the D.V.M. degree or equivalent or have completed the requirements for a B.S. degree that was the equivalent of a major in biology, bacteriology, animal science, or other biological science.

Doctor of Philosophy. The Ph.D. degree may be earned in animal physiology. To quality for admission, candidates must fulfill the requirements of the Graduate College and have an overall grade-point average of 3.25 or better (on a 4.00 scale) for their undergraduate and graduate work. Applicants must submit scores received in the Graduate Record Examination (aptitude test).

Applicants who have completed their previous degrees in fields not closely related to animal and veterinary science may be required to complete deficiencies as determined by the candidate's committee and approved by the department's Graduate Committee.

The Ph.D. degree in animal physiology requires a minimum of 78 credits beyond the B.S. or professional degree, at least 52 credits of which must be in courses numbered 500 and above.

Architecture


Bruce T. Haglund, Dept. Chair (207 Art and Arch. South 83844-2451; phone 208/885-6781; e-mail aaarch@uidaho.edu). Faculty: Robert M. Baron, Ronald D. Bevans, William B. Bowler, Jr., Eugenia V. Ellis, Bruce T. Haglund, Marcia N. Lehman-Kessler, Wendy R. McClure, John L. Pulliam, Gifford Pierce, D. Nels Reese, Jonathan W. Reich, Brian F. Sumption, Stephen G. Thurston (IPD Coordinator).

The Department of Architecture offers two graduate degree programs: the Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) and the Master of Arts in architecture (M.A.). Advanced study in architecture is offered in four areas of concentration: architectural design, community design, environmentally responsive design, and computer visualization technologies. Each qualified graduate student is assigned to a faculty mentor within one of the four areas of concentration.

Admission to the M.Arch. program requires an accredited B.Arch. degree, a letter indicating area of concentration and describing intended studies, a portfolio of design work, and three letters of reference.

Admission to the M.A. in architecture program requires a bachelor's degree in an allied field, a letter indicating areas of concentration and describing intended research.

Applicants whose native language is not English must achieve a TOEFL score of 550 or above. Applications and supporting materials must be submitted by February 15 for fall admission. All correspondence should be directed to the chairman, Graduate Studies Committee, Department of Architecture. Complete course descriptions and a synopsis of faculty areas of specialization will be sent upon request.

Degree Programs

Candidates must fulfill the requirements of the Graduate College and the Department of Architecture.

Master of Architecture. The M.Arch. degree is designed for those intending to enter the practice of architecture or architectural education with advanced knowledge and technical skills in one of the four areas of concentration. As a terminal degree, the M.Arch. requires the completion of four hours of graduate seminar and a minimum of sixteen hours of directed electives, a thesis project presented in visual and written form, and a final oral examination.

Master of Arts--Major in Architecture. The M.A. is intended to meet the needs of qualified persons without an accredited B.Arch. degree who intend to enter a career in consulting or research. A written thesis and a final oral examination are required for the degree as well as the completion of four hours of graduate seminar and sixteen hours of directed electives. The M.A. is not an accredited professional degree.

Most states require that an individual intending to become an architect hold an accredited degree. There are two types of degrees that are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board: (1) the Bachelor of Architecture, which requires a minimum of five years of study, and (2) the Master of Architecture, which requires a minimum of three years of study following an unrelated bachelor's degree or two years following a related pre-professional bachelor's degree. These professional degrees are structured to educate those who aspire to registration/licensure as architects.

The four year, pre-professional degree, where offered, is not accredited by NAAB. The pre-professional degree is useful for those wishing a foundation in the field of architecture, as preparation for either continued education in a professional degree program, or for employment options in architecturally related areas.

Art


David F. Giese, Dept. Chair (203 Art and Arch. South 83844-2471; 208/885-6851). Faculty: Byron D. Clercx, Frank A. Cronk, Jill Dacey, David F. Giese, H. Lynne Haagensen, J. Willard L'Hote, R. Michael Rainey, Karen D. Watts, George T. Wray. Adjunct Faculty: Sally G. Machlis, William P. Woolston. Affiliate Faculty: Robert Helm, Marilyn Lysohir, Jon Ochs.

The Art Department offers two graduate degree programs: M.F.A. and M.A.T.

Graduate students are assigned studio space in the department's Graduate Art Studio (GAS House), as space and individual requirements permit. Priority is given to full-time graduate students.

Admission requirements for the M.F.A. include a minimum grade-point average of 2.80 and an undergraduate degree in a studio area, or its equivalent as determined by the Art Department graduate faculty. Fewer than 60 credits in studio courses, and 12 in art history (or criticism, theory, or history in a related field) at the undergraduate level is considered a deficiency. Applicants with these deficiencies who are admitted to the M.F.A. program may be required to include deficiency course work as part of their graduate program. Deficiency courses are required but do not count towards satisfying degree requirements.

Admission to the M.A.T. degree requires an undergraduate degree, or its equivalent as determined by the Art Department graduate faculty, at least 20 credits of undergraduate art course work, and a minimum grade-point average of 2.80. Fewer than 20 credits in art courses at the undergraduate level is considered a deficiency. Applicants with these deficiencies who are admitted to the M.A.T. program may be required to include deficiency course work as part of their graduate program. Deficiency courses are required but do not count towards satisfying degree requirements.

All applicants are required to present a comprehensive portfolio of work, a written statement of goals or intent, and three letters of recommendation. Portfolios are normally in slide form, 20-40 clearly labeled slides, and must include a postage-paid return envelope. Original work may be submitted at the discretion of the graduate coordinator.

Applicants should direct all correspondence to the UI Art Department graduate coordinator.

Degree Programs

Candidates must fulfill the requirements of the College of Graduate Studies and the Department of Art. See part 2 for the general requirements applicable to each degree.

Master of Fine Arts. The Master of Fine Arts degree is a 60-credit degree designed for students wishing to prepare themselves for a career as a professional artist or art teacher at the college or university level.

The M.F.A. is the terminal degree in studio art and requires a thesis. The major portion of the student's thesis consists of a one-person exhibition of professional quality work supported by a written statement on the nature of the work. The statement includes an explanation of the evolution of the conceptual or theoretical basis for the work (including historical and contemporary examples and influences), and a discussion of the experiments, processes, and technical experiments that were used in the evolution of the work.

Areas of concentration are: painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, textile design, printmaking, and photography, or a direction may be developed that combines two or more of these areas. Students wishing to work in an area other than those listed above must clearly state their intention in their statement of goals or intent upon application for admission to the M.F.A. program.

A final oral examination is required (and may be supplemented with a written examination at the discretion of the graduate committee).

Master of Arts in Teaching--Major in Art. The Master of Arts in Teaching degree is a 30-credit degree designed for those students who are certified teachers wishing to strengthen their experience in studio art.

Of the 30-credit total, 20 credits must be in art courses and 6 in professional courses in education. At least 6 credits must be at the 500 level.

300- and 400-level courses in art may be counted towards the degree. M.A.T. students are encouraged to prepare themselves to take at least 6 credits, in addition to those required by the degree, in 500-level art studio (Art 525, Art Faculty Studio), and to participate fully in graduate activities.

Areas of concentration are: painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, textile design, printmaking, and photography, or a direction may be developed that combines two or more of these areas. Students wishing to work in an area other than those listed above must clearly state their intention in their statement of goals or intent upon application for admission to the M.A.T. program. Students wishing to work in a studio in which they lack adequate preparation may be required to take deficiency courses as prerequisites.

A final oral examination is required (and may be supplemented with a written examination at the discretion of the graduate committee). The M.A.T. final examination may require a written statement as a basis for the oral examination. Such determination is at the discretion of the graduate committee.
