Medical Physics
Medical Physics applies advanced physical energy concepts and methods to the
diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Students enroll in the Department of
Nuclear and Radiological Engineering and take courses taught by the medical physics
faculty from Nuclear and Radiological Engineering, Radiology, and Radiation
Oncology. Students interested in the radiation protection aspects of applications of
radioactivity or radiation in the healing arts may enroll in the medical health physics
option. Formal courses include academic unit core requirements, a radiation biology
course, and a block of clinical medical physics courses taught by Nuclear and
Radiological Engineering, Radiology, and Radiation Oncology faculty. The program
also includes clinical internships in the Departments of Radiology and Radiation
Oncology. Research opportunities and financial support exist in the form of faculty
research and projects related to patient care.
Modern European Studies
The Center for European Studies, a National Resource Center on Europe (funded
partly by Title VI of the Higher Education Act), directs and coordinates
interdisciplinary instruction, research, and outreach related to Europe. In cooperation
with participating academic units throughout the University, the Center offers a
Certificate in Modern European Studies for master's and doctoral students. The
curriculum provides a broad foundation for students preparing for teaching or other
professional careers requiring knowledge of Europe.
Graduate fellowships and assistantships: Students pursuing degrees in
participating academic units can compete for graduate assistantships and Title VI
Foreign Language and Area Studies fellowships.
Extracurricular activities: The Center for European Studies sponsors various
conferences, lectures, film series, performances, and art exhibits in conjunction with
other campus units. The Center also directs an extensive outreach program
addressed to public schools, local community, as well as business groups.
Library resources: The Center for European Studies gives direct support for
European library acquisitions to meet the instructional and research needs of its
faculty and students.
Graduate certificate program: The Center for European Studies, cooperating with
participating academic units, offers a Certificate in Modern European Studies in
conjunction with the master's and doctoral degrees. To obtain the Certificate,
students at the master's level need to complete 13 credit hours and students at the
doctoral level need to complete 16 credit hours of courses with European content.
Both master's and doctoral students are required to complete a 1-unit EUS 6005:
Introduction to European Studies course. Given the critical role of languages to the
comprehensive study of Europe all certificate recipients are required to complete at
least one year of training at the 2000 level or above in at least one European
language. However, in accordance with Graduate School regulations no language
courses below the 3000 level will be included within the certificate program itself.
Those students with a high level of language training, however, may count up to a
