Interdisciplinary Programs

The institutional mission of the Graduate College includes advancing graduate education at UNLV. All Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs (IGP) are structurally housed in the Graduate College. From program inception to approval launch, the Graduate College provides support for faculty in IGP creation and implementation.

Developed to address contemporary needs at local, state, national or global levels, Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs often serve to fill a gap in specialized workforce needs. Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs provide the student with educational opportunities across numerous disciplines, unlike what is delivered within the boundaries of a single department curriculum. The combination of faculty expertise across departments and schools/colleges provides the student with a broad perspective of the content area. This breadth of information is highly focused upon the specialty of each Interdisciplinary Graduate Program.
