1At least 2 seminars should be relevant to the student's area of research and 2 seminars should be outside of the student's major area. One seminar outside of the student’s research area can be replaced by a research project in a minor area with a member of the GAU other than his or her supervisor. Seminars outside the student’s major area are expected to be relevant to the general objectives of the program.
2 The Master’s Research Apprenticeship will receive a letter grade and the Ph.D. Research Apprenticeship will be graded on a credit/no credit basis.
3 The Comprehensive Project will normally be in a "minor" area that is distinct from the doctoral thesis research topic. Students are given a choice of format for the project: publishable review paper; grant proposal; or a research project in a minor area with a member of the GAU other than the supervisor. Students are strongly encouraged (but not required) to submit their comprehensive project to an appropriate journal/grant agency.
4 Ideally, both parts of the Teaching Apprenticeship are completed in the same year.
