What is the “Interdisciplinary” PhD?
Our interdisciplinary degree program offers you the opportunity to formally train in more than one discipline. It will no longer be enough to know one area, one discipline, one field. Inquiry and discovery are crossing disciplines, and we at UMKC are preparing you for the future. Take a look at the details of the program here. As a student in the program, you will choose a coordinating unit and a co-discipline. Since you are obviously interested in Chemistry, we assume that will be your coordinating unit. There are a number of other disciplines that work well as co-disciplines, depending on your interests. Here are links to a few that we suggest: curriculum and instruction, computer engineering, geosciences, mathematics, pharmaceutical sciences, physics and pharmacology. UMKC does not have a program in Chemical Engineering.
