Parks, beaches, bike trails, water sports and more are enjoyed by residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurant scene is hopping, and Milwaukee is known as a foodie city. From casual to fine dining, food lovers will find no shortage of choices across all types of cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Milwaukee also hosts countless music and ethnic festivals throughout the year and boasts a large number of concert venues from small intimate clubs to large arenas, all of which bring in today&#8217;s hottest acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area offers all of the amenities of any large city at a lower cost than comparably sized areas.

The review is a one- to two-hour meeting involving the student, the student\u2019s major professor, and two other members of the History Graduate Faculty who will serve as secondary readers of the student\u2019s thesis. With the assistance of their major professor, the student must prepare a thesis prospectus in advance of the review. The review involves an evaluation of the student\u2019s academic progress in master\u2019s coursework, two unrevised course papers, and the thesis prospectus.<\/p>  <h4>Recommendations for Cross-Disciplinary Coursework<\/h4> <p>The following are recommended courses to fulfill the cross-disciplinary requirement (others may be chosen with the approval of the Public History Director):<\/p> <table class=\"sc_courselist\"> <caption class=\"hidden noscript\">Course List<\/caption> <colgroup> <col class=\"codecol\"\/> <col class=\"titlecol\"\/> <col align=\"char\" char=\".\" class=\"hourscol\"\/> <\/colgroup> <thead> <tr class=\"hidden noscript\"> <th scope=\"col\">Code<\/th> <th scope=\"col\">Title<\/th> <th scope=\"col\" class=\"hourscol\">Credits<\/th> <\/tr> <\/thead> <tbody> <tr class=\"even areaheader  firstrow\"><td colspan=\"2\">Elective courses to fulfill cross-disciplinary track requirements<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\"><\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\">ANTHRO\u00a0340<\/td><td>Cultures of Online Games and Virtual Worlds<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\">ANTHRO\u00a0380<\/td><td>Anthropological Applications of GIS<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\">ANTHRO\u00a0744<\/td><td>Theories of Social Action: Theater, Ritual, Game<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\">ARCH\u00a0583G<\/td><td>Emerging Digital Technology:<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\">ARCH\u00a0742<\/td><td>Professional Practice II<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\">ARCH\u00a0771<\/td><td>Representation I<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\">ARCH\u00a0772<\/td><td>Representation II<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0313G<\/td><td>Creative Coding:<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0316G<\/td><td>Creative Interfaces:<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0317G<\/td><td>3D Environments and XR<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0318<\/td><td>Creative Electronics<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0327<\/td><td>Digital Media Workshop:<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0412G<\/td><td>Advanced Creative Technologies<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0418G<\/td><td>Advanced Electronics and Sculpture:<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0426G<\/td><td>Motion Graphics<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0433G<\/td><td>Digital Imaging for Fabric<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0452G<\/td><td>Contemporary Issues in Photography<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr> <tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\">ART\u00a0456G<\/td><td>Advanced Photography &amp;
