Graduate School Interdisciplinary Programs

The UW Graduate School supports interdisciplinary activities as part of its core mission to champion innovation and excellence in graduate education.

The Graduate School incubates interdisciplinary initiatives: offering support for the creation of truly interdisciplinary initiatives.
The Graduate School sustains interdisciplinary programs: providing advocacy and management for its interdisciplinary programs.
The Graduate School houses interdisciplinary programs: offering a home for interdisciplinary graduate degree and certificate programs as well as non-degree-offering interdisciplinary committees.

As outlined in Graduate School Policy 4.4, each Graduate School interdisciplinary program is overseen by a dedicated Interdisciplinary Faculty Group consisting of graduate faculty whose appointments, teaching, and research span multiple schools or colleges.
