Program Description
The individual interdisciplinary doctoral program is
individually designed to meet the professional interests
and research endeavors of each student. Although the
program maintains a high degree of flexibility, it is a
rigorous program and requires the involvement of the
Graduate School as well as several academic units on
campus. The individual interdisciplinary doctoral degree
offers a unique opportunity for students seeking a
breadth of knowledge not available within one particular
discipline. The program offers a select number of
students the opportunity to pursue the integration of
disciplinary expertise at a doctoral level.
Each student works with an advisor and four additional members of the WSU faculty. This committee oversees the development of the individual doctoral degree and works closely with the student to ensure a high quality doctoral education. The individual doctoral program must meet the following criteria: it will be of doctoral significance, no single recognized graduate degree-granting unit will be able to meet the student’s needs, and the academic resources to complete the proposed program will be available at WSU.
