How competitive is the CIIP?
Gaining admission to a University Ph.D. program the first step may be very competitive and the receipt of a CIIP traineeship is extremely selective; however, once you are a bona fide CIIP Trainee, you will find that the emphasis is on your work within that of a larger team. Faculty bring knowledge and expertise to the academic culture of CIIP but your own abilities are held as central to the overall success of the project.
