Overview

With the help of WSU’s graduate faculty and the Graduate School, such exceptional students develop an individually tailored doctoral program designed to integrate disciplinary insights and produce new knowledge for a comprehensive understanding of disciplinary boundary-spanning complex problems. We aspire to develop exceptional researchers, engaging teachers, and leaders who serve the entire education sector through their innovative thinking and problem-solving skills for making a positive global impact.

Features

The Individual Interdisciplinary 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 Washington State University.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Generally, each student works with an advisor and three additional faculty members from at least two academic disciplines of WSU.

This committee oversees the development of the individual doctoral degree and works closely with the student to ensure a high-quality doctoral education.
