Animal Behavior Graduate Group The Graduate Group introduces students to the breadth of approaches to animal behavior as well as encourages interdisciplinary thinking. The program is split into specialities, or tracks, that reflect concentrations of interest and expertise within the University. The four specialties are: (1) behavior and conservation of wild animals, (2) animal management and welfare, (3) ethology and evolutionary bases of animal behavior, and (4) physiological bases of animal behavior. Over the years, the Graduate Group in Ecology has evolved to create opportunities for students to experience the breadth of the ecology field while, at the same time, emphasizing special interest groups called Areas of Emphasis These include: Agricultural Ecology, Conservation Ecology, Ecosystems and Landscape Ecology, Ecotoxicology, Environmental Policy Analysis, Human Ecology, Integrative Ecology (Individualized program), Marine Ecology, Physiological Ecology, and Restoration Ecology. Population Biology Graduate Group The graduate
group dedicated to the study of the origin and maintenance of biological
diversity. The
program offers a foundation in evolution and ecology followed by
research in a related area.. Areas of specialization include population
growth,
structure and dynamics (basic and applied); population interactions
(competition, predation, parasitism, and mutualism); community ecology;
and food webs.
Through course
work, apprenticeships and mentoring, students in the Graduate Group
are prepared to conduct
research and teach about the education of children, youth, and adults
in a multicultural and multilingual society. The program emphasis
areas are: Language, Literacy & Culture; Mathematics Education; Science
Education; Educational Psychology; and School Organization & Educational
Policy. Graduates of the program have assumed positions in
universities, as well as leadership positions in school districts,
state education
agencies, and in private organizations that support teaching and
learning in schools and communities.
The Geography Graduate Group
offers an interdisciplinary academic program emphasizing spatial interactions
between humans and the biophysical environment. Research interests
include: a) Acculturation of indigenous peoples and immigrants; b)
Biogeography, climate change, and global pollution; c) Domestication
and geographical dispersal of plants and animals; d) Landscape change
and sustainable resource management; d) Medical and nutritional geography;
and e) Women in development.
Graduate Group in Human Development The Group studies human behavioral development across the life span. Each student focuses on a developmental domain (biological, cognitive, or social-emotional) and the contexts within which human development occurs (families, schools, hospitals, etc.) including factors which shape these contexts via social policy. Students may also choose to emphasize a life-cycle phase (i.e., infancy, adolescence, adulthood) within their primary domain. The degree prepares students for college teaching, administration of programs, consultation, and program development in educational, medical and clinical settings. International Agricultural Development Graduate Group The Graduate Group's M.S. degree program is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide students with knowledge and skills that will enable them to implement, facilitate, and manage programs that enhance agricultural development, resource management, and rural life. It prepares students for careers in global agricultural and rural development, especially in developing and less-industrialized regions, to accomplish biological and technological improvement in agricultural and natural systems. Graduate Group in Cultural Studies The focus is on an interdisciplinary approach to cultural inquiry that includes analyses of intersecting categories such as class, gender (including masculinities), race, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, and disabilities. Students may pursue research in such areas as comparative race studies, media and popular cultural representation, transnational and global studies and religions, communities, and politics. Social Theory and Comparative History Graduate Group Central to the Graduate Group's objectives is a commitment to the interdisciplinary use of interpretive techniques and the historical and comparative analysis of substantive problems. Research clusters are used to provide forums for faculty and graduate students to share their research, hear talks by visitors, and discuss issues relating to such topics as the transformation of socialism in several continents as it has unfolded over time, the traces it has left behind, and its possible futures. Designated Emphasis in International Nutrition International nutrition, in this designated emphasis, involves all aspects of human nutrition of importance to populations of low-income countries and, under special circumstances, to disadvantaged populations of more affluent countries. Because of the complex interplay of socio-cultural and biological factors that influence the nutritional status of disadvantaged populations, the Designated Emphasis devotes special attention to the behavioral and developmental outcomes affected by nutrition. Second
Language Acquisition Designated Emphasis The Second Language Acquisition Institute promotes innovations in language teaching and the development of comprehensive resources for language learning. The Designated Emphasis specifically seeks to broaden our knowledge base regarding bilingualism and multilingualism, two topics of considerable interest to California's educational system. Designated Emphasis in Native American Studies The Department of Native American Studies offers a designated emphasis. The Department's faculty are committed to not only research and teaching but engaging also in direct contact with indigenous communities in California, the U.S., Canada and Latin America. The Department's educational curriculum and program is committed to serving the needs of a larger society in California. and abroad. California National Primate Research Center The Center' s mission is to provide interdisciplinary programs in biomedical research on significant human health-related problems in which non-human primates are the models of choice. Researchers have conducted projects encompassing AIDS and other infectious diseases, reproductive issues such as those associated with fetal growth and development, neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, pulmonary disorders such as asthma, and behavior-related drug addiction. The outreach program introduces K-6 students to non-human primates, general science concepts, animals in research, and biomedical research programs and careers.
