Program Overview
What makes the Interdisciplinary PhD Program unique amongst doctoral programs? 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. 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. Strengths of Dalhousie’s Interdisciplinary PhD program include: Individualized and self-designed program Access to faculty across many departments Access to faculty from other universities Cutting-edge approach in emerging fields Emphasis on publication Encouragement of policy and applied solutions
