The Graduate Certificate Program in Culture, Language, and Social Practice (CLASP) is an interdisciplinary course of study designed to complement the MA or PhD curriculum required by a student’s home department. The Certificate Program provides graduate students with the opportunity to pursue the study of language and society from an interdisciplinary perspective, acquiring a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to the sociocultural analysis of language. The traditions of socially oriented language research addressed in CLASP-approved courses reflect the diversity of its 23 affiliated faculty members. These traditions include the sociology of language, linguistic anthropology, narrative studies, philosophy of language, symbolic interactionism, rhetoric, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, language and cognition, conversation analysis, ethnography of speaking, intercultural communication, second language acquisition, language and literacy, bilingualism and code-switching, and varied forms of socially oriented discourse analysis.

The Geography Department offers an interdisciplinaryÌý.Ìý Development Studies is a well-established, interdisciplinary field of research with institutional centers at a number of major universities and several scholarly journals dedicated to its study.Ìý The certificate provides interdisciplinary training in development studies to graduate students through a structured yet flexible program built around courses taught by CU faculty in a number of social science departments. Because development issues such as agrarian change, labor migration, new social movements, industrial growth, urban planning, and natural resource use cut across disciplinary divides, the study of development demands interdisciplinary approaches.

Currently enrolled graduate students at CU and non-degree-seeking ACCESS students with bachelor’s degrees may pursue the Development Studies certificate by satisfactorily completing the four required courses.

°Õ³ó±ðÌýÌýis from the Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department. Remote sensing (satellite and ground-based) is increasingly being used as a technique to probe the Earth’s atmosphere, ocean and land surfaces. Probing of other planets is accomplished largely by satellite remote sensing. Given national priorities in such areas as climate and global change, the interest in remote sensing will only increase with time.Letters to the Remote Sensing Graduate Committee should be sent to the Remote Sensing Graduate Chairman.
