Electives
The IAD program offers students the opportunity to develop an individualized study program. All students are required to take the core course and may, in collaboration with the advising faculty, develop an area of emphasis or specialization that best suits their experiences and their desires. The following section consists of selected sample programs of different specializations in the IAD program. The sample programs are provided to give students a framework from which courses can be chosen and to demonstrate the breadth of available courses. Classes included in sample programs may require additional prerequisites. See the UC Davis general catalog for possible requirements.
