跨学科研究哲学博士

为了响应对跨越传统学科界限的研究的新兴趣，以及国家对跨学科研究和教育的日益增长的需求，WMU研究生学院已建立了跨学科研究博士学位。该学位通过允许他们将课程和研究结合到整个大学的两个或多个学科/课程中，从而为有兴趣在现有界限和既定课程之外的学生提供灵活性。这是一个自行设计的程序，由学生在选定学科的教师支持下开发而成。该选项仅适用于我们现有的研究生课程之一无法满足其需求的学生。
In response to emerging interest in studies that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and increasing national demand for interdisciplinary approaches to research and education, the WMU Graduate College has developed the Interdisciplinary Studies Doctorate. This degree offers flexibility to students with interests outside existing boundaries and established programs by allowing them to combine coursework and research in two or more disciplines/programs from across the university. This is a self-designed program that is developed by the student with input from faculty champions from the chosen disciplines. This option is only for students whose needs cannot be met by one of our existing graduate programs.<br>The Interdisciplinary Studies Doctorate degree makes it possible for graduate students interested in combining disciplines to create a degree program to suit their needs, when no existing graduate program does. The program of study for each student will be designed by the student and the faculty mentors.<br><br>This degree supports the learner-centered, discovery-driven, and globally engaged missions of WMU by meeting individual student needs, promoting academic collaboration across the university, and producing scholars with a global approach to solving problems.
