Interdisciplinary PhD (PhD)

An individualized and self-designed PhD program.


Why choose this program?

What makes the Interdisciplinary PhD Program unique amongst doctoral programs?听 While it still requires exceptional focus, hard work, and self-discipline, there is no home department in the usual sense to guide you along the way. Self-direction and self-reliance are needed, as you may be working more on your own than usual, even for PhD students.听

Whether you are aiming to incorporate the insights of two or three traditional disciplines or engage in research in an interdisciplinary field such as environment, health administration, international development, law, biology, or information management, the Interdisciplinary PhD (IDPhD) program is designed to meet the needs of motivated, experienced, and highly qualified students looking for research opportunities which cut across disciplinary boundaries. 听
