Program Requirements and Common Learning Experience

 

Students in the Collaborative Program will be required to take one of three core courses, participate in a research seminar series and at least one summer institute. All of these activities are open to both master’s and doctoral students. Students are encouraged to take the core course from outside their home graduate units. Because of the multidisciplinary backgrounds of the students, a unique feature of the program is the opportunity for students at different levels to learn from one another and share knowledge and experiences.

 

It is the objective of the Collaborative Program to enrich the learning experience without unduly extending the duration of students’ graduate education. It is anticipated that most competencies will be completed as part of a student’s home program.
