The applied behavioral sciences major is concerned with the study of communities and the people in them. The program focuses on community and organizational development, the role of culture and ethnicity in shaping community life, and the ways that knowledge can be used to solve social problems and improve the quality of life.
The Program. Principal subjects of study within the major are: community and organizational development, social change processes, the role of culture and ethnicity in shaping community life, community research methodologies, the impacts of innovation and technology on community development, and the effects of social, economic and political systems on communities. In addition, the Applied Behavioral Sciences major includes a student-designed field of concentration to complement the student's academic and career interests. Examples of recently approved areas of concentration are organizational planning and management, aging and community development, health care in ethnic communities, community design and planning, socio-environmental planning, and community education.
Internships and Career Alternatives. Applied Behavioral Science students are required to have an internship in their field before graduation. Internships have been arranged with such agencies as local, county, and state planning units, health departments, schools, housing offices, and community education programs. Applied behavioral sciences graduates are prepared for occupations in community development, social research, program evaluation, organizational and educational consulting, city and regional planning, and community health. The major also provides effective preparation for graduate or professional study in the social and behavioral sciences.

Detailed information may be obtained by writing to the Graduate Coordinator, Department of Mathematics.
New applicants are admitted to the fall quarter only.
Preparation. The program encourages application from students who have prior training in engineering, physical and life sciences, mathematics, economics, and related fields. Applicants must have completed two years of undergraduate mathematics including linear algebra, differential equations, and vector calculus. A rigorous course in advanced calculus is strongly encouraged.
Graduate Advisers. A. Cheer (Mathematics); J. Hunter (Mathematics); T. Nathan (Land, Air, and Water Resources).
Art History is the study of the visual arts in civilization. It examines changing aesthetic and cultural values and significant material and ideological developments as seen in works of art and architecture. It emphasizes visual as well as verbal intelligence, providing more than the standard advantages of liberal arts training.
The Program. The student majoring in art history begins with courses which survey the arts of Asia, Europe, and America. More specialized courses follow in ancient, Byzantine, medieval, Renaissance, baroque, modern, Non-Literate, East Asian, and American art and architecture. At the same time students are encouraged to take classes in related disciplines such as religion, history, philosophy, literature, and foreign languages.
Career Alternatives. The major prepares students for advanced study either in graduate school, or in professional programs. It can also serve as the foundation for careers in teaching, research, museums, galleries, arts administration, art criticism, publishing, and art investment.
Preparatory Subject Matter . . . 20 units

The studio art major provides the knowledge and experience necessary for a broad understanding of the visual arts.
The Program. For the beginning student, the major offers an introduction to drawing, composition, sculpture, and art history. Students may then advance to more specialization (painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, photography, film making, electronic arts, as well as theory and criticism) in upper division work.
Portfolios. Admitted students, once at Davis, should keep a continuing portfolio of their art work which is subject to faculty perusal at such times as when the student is declaring the major, requesting independent study courses, and scheduling an exhibition in the student gallery.
Career Alternatives. The studio art graduate is prepared for graduate work or continuing development as a professional artist or art teacher. Students who have career aspirations in the commercial aspects of the visual arts can acquire a broad general education and a creative foundation in the art studio major, establishing a basis for further specialization in commercial art.
