Doctoral Faculty Participation in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. ProgramOn Oct. 7, 1974, the University of Missouri Doctoral Council approved the creation of a UM doctoral faculty to identify, on all four UM campuses, qualified faculty members to direct doctoral dissertations in their disciplines. Uniform minimum standard criteria for doctoral faculty membership apply to all four campuses. In UMKC's Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, all members of a student's supervisory committee must be regular, adjunct or emeritus members of the UM doctoral faculty, and the research adviser must be from the UMKC campus.For purposes of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, a discipline is defined as an academic unit, such as a department or division (with a chair/head) within a school, college or academic program. To be able to participate as a discipline in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, a discipline, meeting the above definition, must have at least four regular doctoral-faculty members.
Doctoral Faculty Discipline AffiliationDoctoral faculty in each participating discipline are listed with the discipline-specific information. The code (A) next to a name indicates adjunct doctoral faculty status. The code (E) indicates emeritus status. The code (D) indicates the faculty member has regular doctoral faculty affiliations in more than one discipline.Continuing doctoral faculty are reviewed for five-year reappointment and nominations for new appointments are considered throughout each academic year. Consequently, the list of doctoral faculty is dynamic and subject to change. Current lists are available from the School of Graduate Studies.
