Program Description
The interdisciplinary Ph.D. program provides students and faculty with opportunities for creative customized academic programming and research that crosses the boundaries of traditional disciplines.
Each student’s program is reviewed by the Graduate School and is subject to approval by the University Board of Graduate Studies, which acts as the governing department.
Any INPR program must combine course work and expertise from two or more academic departments at Marquette. Faculty may serve on an INPR committee whether or not their department offers a doctoral degree.
