Open Graduate Education
The Open Graduate Education program allows select doctoral students to pursue a master’s degree in a secondary field. All doctoral students are invited to contemplate and propose their own combination of studies, free of any disciplinary barrier. The objective of this program is to enable students to combine fields in unique ways and acquire expertise in more than one area. Students in the department have taken advantage of this unique opportunity to supplement their education with degrees in Computer Science, Applied Math, Public Affairs, Biotechnology and more. For more information on the program, please see the website.
