Sample recent topics class:
Popular Media and Global Cultural Flows
This graduate seminar will consider the concept of culture as it relates to global communication processes. Students will gain an understanding of how transnational flows of popular media affect politics, cultural change, and the construction of personal/national identities. They will also examine how these changes, in turn, affect globalization processes.

This workshop-style course is designed for students to develop essential skills of academic writing and academic socialization in the fields of media and communication studies and library and information sciences. It addresses a wide range of writing-related issues in these fields, including style and voice, and developing a philosophy of writing.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
A non-credit teaching apprenticeship designed to provide doctoral candidates with classroom experience. The apprentice will work with a participating SC&I member of the Graduate Faculty to develop a plan for the apprentice's work.

As a general rule, students only take independent study credits when no course offerings matching their needs are available. Students should not have more than one independent study as an elective counting toward their minimal doctoral degree requirements (unless director, area coordinator, and student's adviser approve such a request). Students may take additional independent studies, as long as they are not used to fulfill minimal program credit requirements. In other words, only one Independent study will count toward your degree credits, unless approved as above.

Taken after completion of all coursework credits and the Transfer of Approved Master's Degree Course Credits. The number of research credits taken during a particular semester will vary and should reflect the degree of involvement in dissertation research of the student and his/her advisor during that semester. Once a student has passed his or her qualifying examination, the minimum registration required 1 research credit per semester.

Students who must interrupt their studies may, with the approval of a program director, register for Matriculation Continued (leave of absence). There is no tuition for this registration, although a student fee is charged. Students who do not register for Matriculation Continued will be charged a reactivation fee upon their return to the program. (Students on temporary visas who interrupt their studies must in most cases leave the United States during such periods.) Matriculation Continued is available only to students not enrolled in any coursework and not using faculty time and university facilities, except to complete previous coursework from classes with incomplete or temporary grades. Students may enroll in Matriculation Continued for a maximum of two consecutive semesters.
Research internships are not generally offered by the SC&I doctoral program, but may occasionally become available.
For students appointed to Graduate Assistantships. Credits for a Graduate Assistantship do not count towards doctoral degree requirements. The credits enable a student's transcript to reflect that this experiential learning was part of their doctoral study, and factor into the number of credits needed to be considered a full-time student.
For students appointed as part-time Graduate Assistants. Part-time GA appointments (half-time for a semester or year) are not generally offered by the SC&I doctoral program, but may occasionally become available.May be offered under the 867 or 878 course numbers.
