ARLRMING - Arid Lands Resource Sciences

12

The Core Coursework requirements for the ALRS minor degree are completion of 12 credits, consisting of the core classes ARL 565 (3 credits), ARL 641 (3 credits) and ARL 642 (3 credits).

3 credits should be completed by selecting from: ARL 595A (1 credit, may be taken up to 3 times); ANTH631 (3 credits), ENVS596B (3 credits), GEOG696O (3 credits), RNR526A (3 credits), RNR541A (3 credits), RNR576 (3 credits), RNR580 (3 credits), RNR582 (3 credits), and RNR596G (3 credits).  Alternative classes may supplement these elective classes with prior approval by the ALRS Chairperson, upon the recommendation of the Minor Advisor of the student.

The ALRS minor should be represented by 2 faculty members on the Student’s Graduate Committee, one of which will act as the Minor Advisor. Both members are required to participate in the written and oral comprehensive examination.  The minor committee members should review the dissertation and are expected to participate in the final defense.  The members of the minor should be faculty members of ALRS, but on a case-by-case basis we can substitute other tenure-track faculty with prior approval by the ALRS Chairperson in consultation with the student’s Minor and Major Advisor.  Also, continuing eligible faculty who has been approved by the Dean of the Graduate College upon the recommendation of the Program Chair as “tenure equivalent faculty” may serve on committees.  THIS HAS TO BE REPLACED WITH THE CURRENT LANGUAGE ON SPECIAL MEMBERS.

Please refer to the Graduate Student Handbook for students who are pursuing this program of study.
