Degrees Conferred:
M.S., Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology (CEMB)
M.S., Ph.D. in Microelectronics-Photonics (MEPH)
Ph.D. in Public Policy (PUBP)
M.S., Ph.D. in Space and Planetary Sciences (SPAC)
Certificate Offered (non-degree)
Gerontology (GERO)
Undergraduate Minor Offered:
Microelectronics-Photonics (Please see undergraduate Catalog of
Studies)
Housed in the Graduate School, the Division of Interdiscplinary
Studies is the home department for eight cross-college interdiscplinary
graduate programs: the Graduate Certificate in Gerontology;
M.S. and Ph.D. in Cell & Molecular Biology; M.S. and Ph.D. in
Microelectronics-Photonics; Ph.D. in Public Policy; and M.S. and
Ph.D. in Space & Planetary Sciences. Program descriptions and
course requirements may be found elsewhere in this catalog and on the
Web.
The Division of Interdisciplinary Studies is also the home department
for one undergraduate minor in Microelectronics-Photonics.
The program description and course requirements may be found in
the undergraduate Catalog of Studies.
The common feature of these interdisciplinary programs is that their
faculty members have voluntarily associated themselves with that
academic community while being appointed faculty in our traditional
departments. These faculty members have academic authority for
each interdisciplinary program, and issue the degrees and certificates
directly from the Graduate School - not through a department. Each
program operationally reports directly to the Associate Dean of the
Graduate School, but each works closely with the traditional departments
that house actively participating program faculty members.
Graduate Education Courses (GRSD)
