Second-Tier Courses

In addition to the four first-year courses, students must take two additional methodology courses by the end of their second year in either:

1. Ethnographic Methods
2. Quantitative Methods
3. Methods course specific to an existing graduate group

Apart from the Core and Second-Tier Courses, no other specific courses are required. The remaining courses of the 20-course unit requirement are expected to satisfy disciplinary standards and are chosen in consultation with faculty advisors.
