RESEARCH ACTIVITY

The research projects in agribusinessreflect the varied interests of the fac-ulty. Marketing studies involving agri-cultural products are conducted to de-termine consumer desires or the atti-tudes of institutional personnel towardfoods. Management studies designedto improve the efficiency of agribusi-ness or to identify the job stress factorsof the employees represent another sec-tor. Finance studies examine the ca-pacity of financial institutions to pro-vide capital for agribusiness firms orthe ability of managers to optimize thereturns to financial resources undertheir control. In addition, the researchconducted by the food industry facultyis directed toward the safety and whole-someness of food, both at the institu-tional and consumer levels.

Admission. In addition to the generalrequirements for admission to theGraduate College, the Department ofAnthropology requires applicants toprovide a statement of their interestsand professional goals, and three lettersof recommendation. Applicants whoreceived their B.A. during the past tenyears must also submit scores on theGraduate Record Examination. Under-graduate course work in anthropologyis not a prerequisite for admission tothe M.A. program. Admission to thePh.D. program normally presumes anM.A. in Anthropology; students may beadmitted without such a background onthe condition that they acquire a knowl-edge of general anthropology in a man-ner to be specified at the time of admis-sion.

Program of Study. Special trainingprograms designed to terminate with amaster’s degree are possible at the dis-cretion of the student and faculty advi-sors. For example, the concentrationsin linguistics, museum studies, medicalanthropology, and bioarchaeology areat the master’s level. The primary pur-pose and scope of the graduate programin anthropology, however, is intendedto lead to the Ph.D. degree.

The doctoral program is divided intothree phases. The first consists of 24semester hours of course work andreadings, usually within a subdisciplineand closely allied areas, followed bysix semester hours for the M.A. thesis(or publishable paper). The facultymay require additional hours of coursework or other preparation for enteringstudents who are unfamiliar with theconcepts of general anthropology at alevel equivalent to that of the ArizonaState undergraduate anthropology core.Mastery of the phase I course materialis demonstrated by successful comple-tion of a written qualifying examinationin social-cultural anthropology or, inphysical anthropology, bioarchaeology,and archaeology, by successful comple-tion of a sequence of core courses.

Admission to phase II of the doctoralprogram is granted to students on thebasis of performance in phase I, thequality of M.A. research, prior coursework, faculty recommendations, andother relevant information. The secondphase consists of 30 semester hours ofcourse work, reading in anthropologyand related fields, and directed researchdesigned to prepare the student for the

dissertation project. Proficiency in oneforeign language or quantitative meth-ods may be required by the supervisorycommittee. The second phase is com-pleted when the following have beenmet: (1) passing a written comprehen-sive examination, and (2) passing theoral defense of the dissertation pro-posal. The successful student is thenadvanced to candidacy.

The final phase consists of 24 semes-ter hours of research and dissertation.

Certificate in Museum Studies. Thecertificate is awarded to nondegree orgraduate students who are accepted intothe certificate program and who com-plete 12 hours of required course workand a six-semester hour internship at anapproved museum. The certificate maybe taken independently or in conjunc-tion with the M.A. degree in Anthro-pology with a concentration in museumstudies.

Master of Public Health. The facultyin the department participate in offeringa Master of Public Health (M.P.H.)with a concentration in cultural and be-havioral dimensions of public health asa part of the Arizona Graduate Programin Public Health on the University ofArizona campus. This program con-centration offers theoretical and practi-cal learning experiences to enable thestudent to develop competencies in un-derstanding and planning health pro-grams for culturally diverse clients andcommunities in the United States andacross the world. The central objectiveof the concentration is understandingand evaluating cultural influences onhealth and illness, health promotion,and disease prevention.

MASTER OF ARTS

Concentrations are available at themaster’s level in archaeology, bioarch-aeology, linguistics, medical anthropol-ogy, museum studies, physical anthro-pology, and social-cultural anthropol-ogy.

The new medical anthropology con-centration emphasizes biocultural per-spectives on the study of health and ill-ness behavior. The faculty has a rangeof teaching and research activities thatspan biological, physical, ecological,sociocultural, and applied areas ofmedical anthropology. The programcombines theoretical approaches withan applied problem-solving focus to

RESEARCH AND TEACHINGACTIVITIES

Faculty in the Department of Anthro-pology are actively engaged in researchon a wide range of problems and in avariety of geographical settings, withspecial strength in the American South-west, Southeast Asia, Mesoamerica, theNear East, and the Arctic. Individualfaculty conduct research in Arizona,New Mexico, Ohio, Alaska, Canada,Guatemala, Mexico, England, Spain,Jordan, Morocco, Kenya, Madagascar,New Guinea, Thailand, Indonesia, andthe Philippines.

While most research and teachingcenter on problems associated with oneof the traditional subfields of anthro-pology, many departmental programsinclude faculty from various branchesof anthropology. Research and teach-ing in archaeology center on archaeo-

logical theory, research methods, quan-titative methods, computer and statisti-cal applications, paleoecology ofhunter-gatherers, and the archaeologyof social complexity. The program insocial-cultural anthropology empha-sizes social organization, religion, ecol-ogy and demography, research meth-ods, human biology and social behav-ior, and anthropological linguistics.The physical anthropology programstresses osteology, dental anthropology,primatology, functional morphology,growth and development, paleoanthro-pology, human biological variation,disease ecology, and human origins.The program in museum studies in-cludes emphases in curation, exhibi-tion, educational programming, and ad-ministration. The medical anthropol-ogy program emphasizes bioculturalperspectives on the study of health andillness behavior. The bioarchaeologyprogram applies a holistic, ecologicalperspective in considering biological,environmental, demographic, and cul-tural processes at regional and localscales. The program in linguistics is in-terdisciplinary and has strengths inAmerican Indian and Southeast Asianlanguages, bilingualism, language re-newal, language and education, andethnopoetics.

Among the research resources of thedepartment are large archaeological,ethnographic, dental, and osteologicalcollections; a majority of available fos-sil hominid casts; numerous archaeol-ogy and physical anthropology labora-tories; departmental computers; radio-graphic, serologic, and pollen facilities;ethnographic and linguistic archives.The department publishes a monographseries, Anthropological Research Pa-pers, and two series of field reports,Anthropological Field Studies andOCRM Reports. The department alsomaintains the Office of Cultural Re-source Management and the ArizonaState University Museum of Anthropol-ogy. The department operates the DeerValley Rock Art Center in north Phoe-nix, a research and interpretive centersituated at the largest concentration ofpetroglyphs in the Phoenix area. TheMuseum of Anthropology, which ishoused in the Anthropology Building,works closely with the Heard Museumof Native American Cultures and Art,the Desert Botanical Gardens, thePueblo Grande Museum, the TempeHistorical Society, and other museumsin the area.

Graduate Record Examination.Graduate Record Examination scoresare required from all students.

Transition Program. Students apply-ing to the Bioengineering M.S. or Ph.D.degree programs may have an under-graduate B.S. degree in a major fieldother than Bioengineering. The qualifi-cations of transition students are re-viewed by the department graduatecommittee and a special program oftransition course work is designed forsuccessful applicants. In general, tran-sition students should have had, or beprepared to take, calculus through ordi-nary differential equations, physics, in-organic chemistry, and a number of un-dergraduate engineering courses in or-der to be prepared for graduate Bio-engineering courses. Other coursework from the undergraduate programmay be required depending upon the re-search topic selected by the student.Transition students should contact thegraduate coordinator to evaluate the un-dergraduate transcript.

MASTER OF SCIENCE

See pages 97–99 for information onthe Master of Science degree.

Program of Study. All candidatespursuing a M.S. degree in Bioengineer-ing are required to complete an ap-proved program of study consisting ofthe minimum required semester hours,including research and thesis. Specialcourse requirements for the differentareas of study are established by thefaculty and are available from the De-partment of Chemical, Bio, and Materi-als Engineering. Part-time studentsmust successfully complete a researchseminar course for at least three semes-ters during the course of study. Candi-dates whose undergraduate degree wasin a field other than bioengineeringmay be required to complete more than30 semester hours of credit on the pro-gram of study.

Research Seminar Requirements. Inaddition to the course work and thesisrequirements, all full-time master’s de-gree students must successfully com-plete a research seminar course duringeach semester of attendance.




The Ph.D. degree in Bioengineeringis conferred upon evidence of excel-lence in research resulting in a schol-arly dissertation that is a contribution toknowledge.


Program of Study. Upon admissionof the applicant with regular or provi-sional status, a supervisory committee(program committee) is appointed.This committee is responsible for theguidance and direction of the student’sgraduate program of study. The pro-gram committee is composed of a mini-mum of three faculty members, includ-ing a chair. Generally, the student’sgraduate advisor serves as chair of theprogram committee. The programcommittee advises the student in devel-oping a program of study and assumesprimary responsibility in assessing thestudent’s progress in the program.

Research Seminar Requirements. Inaddition to the course work and disser-tation requirements, all full-time doc-toral students must successfully com-plete a research seminar course duringeach semester of attendance.

Qualifying Examination. A qualify-ing exam is administered to test thestudent’s mastery of basic engineeringfundamentals. The examination is usu-ally taken early in the student’s pro-gram of study (after two semesters ofresidence at ASU, and no later thanthree semesters). A student must ex-press in writing the intention to take theexam to the department graduate com-mittee through the graduate coordina-tor.


Comprehensive Examinations. Whenthe Ph.D. student has essentially com-pleted the course work in the approvedprogram of study, the student is given awritten comprehensive examinationcovering the field of study. The written

The faculty in the School of Archi-tecture offer a graduate program lead-ing to the M.S. degree in Building De-sign. Concentrations are available incomputer-aided design, energy perfor-mance and climate-responsive architec-ture, and facilities development andmanagement. The program providesadvanced study at the postprofessionallevel for architects, and at the specialistlevel for nonarchitects who have a de-gree in a related area such as engineer-ing, business, computer science, andthe physical and environmental sci-ences. The purpose of the program isthe development of knowledge usefulto the arts and sciences of building de-sign and the integration of that knowl-edge in the design process. Within thiscontext, the program emphasizes (1)the ecological importance of energy-conscious design and construction, aswell as the high social value placed onbuildings in which natural forces andsystems are utilized rather than sup-pressed, and (2) the development of re-search, information systems and man-agement processes suited to the plan-ning and design of complex buildingsin urban settings.

The faculty in the school also partici-pate in offering the Ph.D. in Environ-mental Design and Planning. Seepages 198–200 for information on thePh.D. degree program.

The energy performance and cli-mate-responsive architecture concentra-tion is concerned with the relationshipsamong climate and site, thermal and vi-sual comfort, and energy demand andconsumption. Courses in this concen-tration establish a basic core of knowl-edge on the principles of the natural en-ergies available at the building bound-ary due to climate and site; thermal andoptical behavior of building materialsand components; passive and low-en-ergy architectural systems for heating,cooling, and lighting; and appropriateintegration with mechanical systems.Additional courses are available to sup-port advanced study and research in avariety of related specialties.

Examples of the areas of advancedstudy that are available are climate-re-sponsive architecture and analysis ofbuilding energy performance. In cli-mate-responsive architecture, a studentapplies the principles of “bioclimatic”building design in a studio setting tomaximize the use of renewable energyresources in particular locations andbuilding programs. In analysis ofbuilding energy performance, a studentapplies physical and economic analysis,computer simulation, and/or measure-ment as tools in determining compo-nent or whole-building performancerelative to energy, climate, and cost-ef-ficiency. The student is concerned withclimate responsive, low-energy build-ing design through resource-efficientbuilding concepts, materials, compo-nents, and systems such as daylighting,passive solar heating, passive cooling,and earth sheltering.

Most students address these prob-lems with an emphasis on either a de-sign-oriented approach in a studio set-ting or with an emphasis on an analy-sis-oriented approach through the appli-cation of the most current building en-ergy simulation and analysis tools.Some students want to combine theseapproaches in their thesis problem.The energy performance and climate-

MASTER OF SCIENCE INENGINEERING

See page 114 for information on theMaster of Science in Engineering de-gree.


The Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engi-neering, or in the area of study of mate-rials science and engineering under theEngineering Science major, is con-ferred upon evidence of excellence inresearch resulting in a scholarly disser-tation that is a contribution to existingknowledge.


Doctoral Program. Upon successfulcompletion of the qualifying examina-tion, a research supervisory committeeis formed and the doctoral student is re-quired to submit a research proposal.Following the acceptance of the re-search proposal, the student is given acomprehensive examination to deter-mine initiative, originality, breadth, andhigh level of professional commitmentto the problem selected for investiga-tion. Upon successful completion ofthe comprehensive examination, thestudent applies for admission to candi-dacy.

Master’s Degree in Passing. Studentswho are enrolled in the Ph.D. degreeprogram in Chemical Engineering, butwho do not hold a previously earnedmaster’s degree in chemical engineer-ing, can obtain the M.S.E. degree (the“Master’s in Passing”) upon comple-tion of course requirements, the Ph.D.Qualifying Examination, the Disserta-tion, Prospectus, and the Comprehen-sive Examination.

As this degree is only available tostudents who are enrolled as regularstudents in the Ph.D. program inChemical Engineering, all of the aboverequirements (including course work)can be applied toward the Ph.D. re-quirements.

Foreign Language Requirements.Candidates in the program leading tothe Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineer-ing, or in the area of study materialsscience and engineering under the En-gineering Science major, normally arenot required to pass an examinationshowing reading competency of a for-
