多学科科学哲学博士（跨学科）

博士 建筑，工程，人文与社会科学，管理和科学专业的课程为博士学习提供了大量的机会，并提供针对性IT研究。此外，对于高度跨学科的研究，可以在多学科科学博士学位中获得IT Track。程序。IT跟踪旨在使学生能够与伦斯勒多个部门和学校的教职员工一起工作。多学科科学博士学位课程中的IT跟踪旨在为学生做好跨学科IT研究职业的准备。IT跟踪需要一个技术核心，以及一个专注于学生研究环境的专注技术。除了其核心IT组件之外，这种集中可能还包含一个或多个学科。“ IT跟踪”侧重于研究-具有创意和原创性，足以使学​​生在学术
Traditionally, graduate degrees have focused on a single subject such as chemistry, physics, or mathematics. However, current and expected future trends in the working environment show that jobs will increasingly bridge more than one area of specialization. Biochemistry, for example, which is of major importance in today's society, now spans two or three disciplines, including several areas of chemistry and biology. The same is true of bioinformatics, a new multidisciplinary field that depends on expertise in biology and computational sciences. Information Technology and Web Science is another example that combines expertise in computing and information systems with knowledge from other areas such as management, human-computer interaction, social sciences, and an application problem domain. See the IT and Web Science Web site (www.it.rpi.edu) for more details. These are just three in a growing number of fields that cross boundaries of specialization. Rensselaer's M.S. and Ph.D. in Multidisciplinary Science meet the need of graduates who anticipate careers in similar occupations without a currently existing graduate program.<br><br>Rensselaer strongly emphasizes interdisciplinary research programs that bridge disciplines within the School of Science and between the School of Science and other Schools at the institute.<br><br>Students within multidisciplinary graduate programs are under the supervision of faculty from more than one discipline. Highly knowledgeable faculty determine which courses the student needs, develop appropriate examinations, and supervise research activities. The Program Director recommends appointment of the doctoral committee and supervises the student's overall progress.
