34 Years of
Interdisciplinary and Cultural Studies @ SDSU
Spring 2021 MALAS Grad
Seminars (+ Recommended
Seminars and Classes From
Across the University)...
Let us begin by underscoring that by no
means do the listings below exhaust the many courses
you can take and professors you can work with as a
graduate student in the MALAS program. Just write
directly to Bill Nericcio, MALAS Director, at bnericci@sdsu.edu,
with any questions or suggestions for additions to
this lineup of seminars and classes. While the
choices below are wide-ranging and extensive, it is
still highly recommended that MALAS graduate
students sign up for MALAS-branded graduate student
courses first and then round out their schedule with
selections from other departments--the more graduate
students we have in our
MALAS-branded seminars, the more
courses/variety we can offer in the future. In the
listings below, MALAS-branded seminars appear first
while course offerings from other departments and
programs follow.

REMEMBER:
It is a good idea to email professors in degree programs
that have numerous prerequisites listed BEFORE THE
SEMESTER STARTS to ensure that you can indeed take the
course--better to be safe than sorry. In some special
cases, lower-division courses can be taken for graduate
credit--make an appointment with Graduate
Director/Advisor Bill Nericcio before pursuing this
pathway. (Do note that the SDSU Schedule is always in
flux; some of the courses listed below may change
their days and times--do let me know of any
adjustments that need to be made.)
Special Spring 2021 Update. MALAS does not
really endorse online learning--truth be told, it's
not the real deal as part of the magic of graduate
school is the seminar, where graduate students work
with professors to achieve a higher ideal of
learning, of education. That said, the "S" in MALAS
is for "Sciences" and we are living together through
a new reality in the midst of a pandemic. So, for
Spring 2021 (at least, pending a vaccine or
miracle), MALAS will accept graduate level online
classes for credit toward your MA.
Are
you visiting here from another graduate program at
SDSU?! Remember, MALAS Seminars are open to all SDSU
graduate students (and advanced
senior undergraduates). |
