Graduate Program The Master's Program in Southeast Asian Studies is an interdepartmental program centered on the study of the arts and cultures of Southeast Asia and its diasporas. To understand Southeast Asia as a region, students need to make sense of and engage with its diverse expressive forms of culture (including visual arts, literature, and performance) which are crucial in building and maintaining individual as well as group identity both within and across national or ethnic boundaries. This program is designed for students with a strong interest in Southeast Asia, including those already admitted or enrolled in another graduate program. Students can be concurrently enrolled in both the Southeast Asian Studies M.A. program and another graduate degree program.
Plan II (Comprehensive Exam) Students concurrently enrolled in another degree program requiring an M.A. thesis may (with the approval of the Southeast Asian Studies faculty) be awarded the M.A. degree by passing a comprehensive examination. University Requirements All master's students must be enrolled for at least three quarters to fulfill the University residency requirement and must hold at least a 3.00 GPA in all upper division and graduate level course work related to the degree. A minimum of 48 units must be completed of which 36 must be graduate level (200 level) or approved upper division undergraduate (100 level) and apply only to the M.A. in Southeast Asian Studies. Normative Time to Degree Two years
Graduate Courses Please see Comparative Literature and Foreign Languages for graduate course listings.

In addition, students can select four other graduate seminars or approved upper division undergraduate courses in accordance with their main field of interest and after approval by the Graduate Advisor and the student's Thesis Committee. A total of 48 units of coursework, including thesis, are required for the degree in Southeast Asian Studies. Students concurrently enrolled in another graduate program may, when appropriate, include units earned in that program toward the 48 units of the M.A. in Southeast Asian Studies. However, there must be at least 36 units uniquely applied to the Southeast Asian Studies degree. Plan I (Thesis) Students enrolled in the Southeast Asian Studies Graduate Program (for the terminal M.A.) must submit an essay (thesis) of 30-40 pages reflecting original research, written under the supervision of a member of the program who also functions as the chair of their Thesis Committee. At the beginning of the second year students should write a research proposal outlining their research project. Approximately ten pages in length this proposal should describe the aims of the research and provide a broader theoretical framework. After this is approved students begin to conduct individual research in the field or in the library. Students must enroll in a minimum of 8 units

Major The Department of Statistics is concerned with teaching, research, and statistical consulting. The courses offered present a comprehensive spectrum of statistical and probability theory, in so far as such theory is necessary for the understanding and analysis of observational data. The applications of the theory delineated in the courses may be made in any field of experience. Laboratory classes in which examples related to the student’s actual field of interest are worked out, play an essential part. The department offers both B.A. and B.S. degrees in Statistics as well as a B.S. in Statistics with options in Statistical Computing and Quantitative Management; the M.S. degree in Statistics; and the Ph.D. degree in Applied Statistics. The courses STAT 040, STAT 048, STAT 100A, STAT 100B, STAT 104/BUS 104, STAT 110, STAT 130, STAT 140, STAT 146, and STAT 155 are intended for students of other departments who wish a knowledge of statistical techniques. Some of them may be taken as electives by statistics majors. The objective of these courses is to acquaint the student with the elements of statistics with only the necessary amount of mathematical training. STAT 147 and STAT 157 are computer-oriented courses intended for students who would like to learn about computer programming in the most important languages and who would like to learn about statistical computing. In addition to teaching, the Department of Statistics is responsible to the dean of the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences and director of the Agricultural Experiment Station for collaboration with research workers in the biological and agricultural fields. A consultative service in the design, analysis, and interpretation of experimental data relating to the agricultural sciences is provided.
Computing Laboratories The Department of Statistics has a strong applied orientation that involves the use of statistical computing while solving real world problems that arise in many disciplines. The department has two interactive multimedia computer laboratories with Pentium-class clients and a SUN Microsystems Netra server, and also has a UNIX-based laboratory that contains multiple SUN Microsystems Blade and Ultra 24 workstations. Each of the labs provides users access to a wide variety of statistical software packages and are networked to both the Internet and the campus WiFi network. The CRAY Supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) is also available
to faculty and graduate students, as are the 30 PC workstations in a computing laboratory that is maintained by the Statistical Consulting Collaboratory.
Statistical Consulting Center The Statistical Consulting Collaboratory provides a broad range of analytical and statistical support services, including design of experiments, statistical inference, hypothesis testing, and data modeling for the campus community, and promotes cooperative research between statisticians and other investigators in all fields of the application of statistics. The Collaboratory is staffed by a faculty director, two Ph.D. statisticians and graduate students. Daniel R. Jeske, Ph.D., Faculty Director Karen Huaying Xu, Ph.D., Associate Director Scott M.

Normally, applications for fellowships are awarded by February or March for students admitted for the following Fall quarter. Students in the Ph.D. program who have satisfied all requirements for the master’s degree may apply for this degree while completing requirements for the Ph.D. program.
Students must also meet the other requirements for admission as specified by the Graduate Division. The program is Plan II (Comprehensive Examination) described in the Graduate Studies section of this catalog. No foreign language is required. Plan II (Comprehensive Examination) Graduate students in Statistics must take (or have taken) appropriate courses in Mathematics to give them the proper background for graduate work in Statistics. Important areas include Calculus (at least MATH 008B or MATH 009A, MATH 009B, MATH 009C, and MATH 010A) and Linear Algebra (at least MATH 131). Students are strongly encouraged to take at least one of the following: MATH 120 (Optimization), MATH 126 (Combinatorics), MATH 135A, MATH 135B (Numerical Analysis), MATH 151A, MATH 151B, MATH 151C (Advanced Calculus), MATH 165A, MATH 165B (Complex Variables), and MATH 209A, MATH 209B, MATH 209C (Real Analysis). The specific courses selected naturally depend on the research area selected by the student. The program consists of a minimum of 36 approved units. These must include 1 unit of STAT 288; 12 units of STAT 293 are counted toward this total. In addition, at least 20 units must be from STAT 200A, STAT 200B, STAT 203A, STAT 203B, STAT 205, STAT 207A, STAT 207B, STAT 210A, STAT 210B, STAT 210C, STAT 215, STAT 216A, STAT 216B, STAT 220A, STAT 220B, STAT 230, STAT 240. Knowledge of at least one computer language and the use of statistical computer packages is required, and students lacking this background should take STAT 157. Early in the program the student submits a program proposal, which requires the approval of the M.S. advisor. The advisor also supervises the student’s progress and course of study. After completion of the required courses, the student takes a written comprehensive examination. This is generally offered twice annually, in the fall and spring quarters. Some students can petition to change their degree objective from the M.S. degree to the Ph.D. program in Applied Statistics depending on their performances in the written comprehensive exam and coursework.
Master’s Program
Students in the Ph.D. program who have satisfied all requirements for the master’s degree may apply for this degree while completing requirements for the Ph.D. program.
The Department of Statistics offers the M.S. degree in Statistics.
Doctoral Degree

These courses would not be counted as credit towards the master’s degree.
The Department of Statistics offers the Ph.D. degree in Applied Statistics. The program emphasizes both the theory of statistics and its application to special fields of interest. In addition to courses in statistics, a student would take courses in a substantive field from which a thesis problem requiring a statistical approach should arise. The substantive field may be chosen from areas such as
biology, economics, political science, psychology or administration. Specialties might include, for example, population genetics, biological control, hydrology, epidemiology, geology, discrimination in learning, or scales and measurements. Admission Students entering the program must have completed either a bachelor’s degree or a Master’s degree in Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or some other quantitatively based discipline. Students lacking sufficient preparation for some statistics graduate classes must complete some preparatory work in Statistics, Computer Science, or Mathematics depending on their background. Students also have to meet the general requirements listed in the Graduate Studies section of this catalog. Course Work Courses to be taken are in Statistics and the substantive field appropriate to the student’s interest. Students without the courses prescribed by the M.S. in Statistics or their equivalent must take them as soon as possible. Students must complete course work in statistics greater in depth than that required for the M.S. Students must have knowledge of at least one computer language and the use of statistical computer packages; students lacking this background should take STAT 157. They must select four or more additional quarter courses in Statistics at the 200 level, not to be graded “Satisfactory/No Credit.” These additional courses should be selected in consultation with the graduate advisor and/or the student’s major professor in order to strengthen a student’s background in statistics and to prepare the student for thesis work and a career in research and teaching. To be approved, A program must include STAT 210A, STAT 210B, STAT 210C and three of the following five courses: STAT 200A, STAT 203A, STAT 215, STAT 216A, STAT 220A. In preparing for the written qualifying examinations, a student can register for up to 6 units of STAT 291 (Individual Studies in Coordinated Areas) only during quarters that the student actually participates in qualifying examinations. In addition, students must complete a minimum of 12 units (or equivalent) in a substantive field with a minimum GPA of 3.00. The requirement may be waived if the student already has the background in the substantive area. Foreign Language Requirement None Qualifying Examination Before advancement to candidacy, students must demonstrate proficiency on a qualifying examination which is normally taken after two years of course work and seminars. Dissertation The dissertation is pertinent to a problem area specified by the candidate’s substantive field and is submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Graduate Division, Riverside. Teaching Requirement All students in the program, for at least three quarters, assist with laboratory (practice) sections of undergraduate Statistics courses or individual tutorial (consultative) work with undergraduate students.

Theatre Subject abbreviation: THEA College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences
Major The Department of Theatre offers a B.A. in Theatre. The major focuses on three broad areas of theatre — its literature, history, and criticism; performance, design, direction, and technology; and the elements of production. Students have the opportunity to write, perform, direct, and design. Four stages are available for rehearsals and performances: the 500seat proscenium University Theatre, the new 150-seat Studio Theatre in the Arts building with state-of-the-moment equipment for facilities, the 120-seat Rehearsal Lab, and the 50seat Barn Theatre. Students are able to practice acting in facultydirected shows, student productions, and class presentations. Special projects and studies are offered for advanced students to produce an original work or to study in more depth acting, directing, scenic design, or playwriting. As part of the Theatre Department’s ongoing goal to provide a comprehensive and world-class program in the performing arts, a new Writing Track has been created for students who are primarily interested in pursuing the goal of writing for the performing arts. In addition to taking classes in playwriting and screenwriting, students will be able to take advantage of the department’s active production environment, which is a necessary component of any playwriting or screenwriting education. As Theatre majors in a writing track, student playwrights and screenwriters will be able to take classes in writing for the performing arts, acting, directing, and other production classes as requirements rather than having to fit them in as often-unavailable electives. Student assistantships, work-study, Gluck Fellowships, and scholarships such as the Chancellor’s Performance Award are available to students. For further information or a department tour, call the Theatre Department, (951) 827-3343.

Major Requirements The major requirements for the B.A. degree in Theatre are as follows: Track 1: General Theatre Upper-division requirements (64 units) 1. Literature, History, Criticism requirement a) THEA 100, THEA 120A, THEA 120B, THEA 120C b) Twelve (12) units from THEA 121, THEA 122, THEA 124A, THEA 124B, THEA 125 (E-Z), THEA 126A, THEA 126B, THEA 127, THEA 191 (E-Z), or any other course in dramatic literature approved by the Chair
Minor The minor in Theatre follows the structure of the major requirements by exposing students to each of the areas that are essential to the creation of theatre, with the opportunity to take an additional course for depth or more exposure. The inclusion of THEA 170 (Advanced Dramatic Production) gives the students the opportunity to put course work into the proper context and provides them with a practical understanding of the workings and problems of production. The minor in Theatre provides students with a basic understanding in major areas of study including theatre literature, performance, and design. It also introduces the nonmajor to the discipline of Theatre, providing breadth for those students majoring in unrelated disciplines.
