Marquette University

Program Information

Degree Offered

Ph.D. - Interdisciplinary

Program Description:

This doctoral program provides students and faculty with opportunities for creative academic programming and research that cross the boundaries of traditional disciplines. Instead of being supported by an individual department, school or college, each student's program is administered by an interdisciplinary faculty committee.
Each INPR program must combine the academic and intellectual assests, in terms of course work and faculty expertise, of two or more academic departments at Marquette.

Eligibility Requirements:

Prerequisites for Admission: Due to the unique nature of the interdisciplinary program, only students who demonstrate a high degree of self-reliance and responsibility will be considered for admission. In addition, applicants must meet the following criteria: 1. The student must have completed a master's degree or its equivalent at an accredited university* 2. The student normally must have a graduate GPA of 3.500 or above, on a 4.000 scale, in their master's degree (or equivalent graduate work). If the student has less than a 3.500 cumulative GPA, the results of a current (within five years) standardized examination such as the GRE, GMAT, or LSAT, will be required.* *Students currently enrolled in professional programs who desire to enter an INPR Ph.D. program should consult with their adviser.
