The world of the future will require scholars
with a global approach to problem solving. It will no longer be
enough to know one area, one discipline, or one field of study.
Inquiry and discovery are crossing disciplines. With this in mind,
the mission of the Ph.D. Program in Interdisciplinary Studies
is to span traditional boundaries among disciplines while helping
students develop knowledge and skills for independent research
on the fundamental questions of the present and the future. Prospective
students must be admitted to at least two disciplines (Coordinating
and Co-Discipline). We offer 26 Coordinating discipline choices
and 27 Co-Discipline choices.
