About the course

The Graduate School invites you to explore degrees that allow you to integrate knowledge, research, and training from more than one department or discipline. Students in this program pursue innovative combinations of coursework to build the expertise necessary to conduct unique interdisciplinary research projects.We offer an M.A. and an M.S., as well as a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies, one of only a few dozen universities in the U.S. that does so.The D.I.S. is not focused on combining disciplines as the M.I.S. program, but in allowing the student to bring forward a problem or series of problems to research. This degree has a different application process than other degrees at the university, prospective students must schedule an appointment with the Director or Coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs before beginning the application process. Then, the student must seek out faculty with the resources and expertise to assist them in defining and executing the research goals, and designing a curriculum to acquire the skills and competencies needed to reach those goals. The D.I.S. requires a student who is highly motivated, has a focused goal/research project in mind, and is able to actively participate in his or her educational process.
