Overview

Key facts:

The ideal prospective student in M.A./M.S. Individual Interdisciplinary Program (IIP) from Ohio University's Graduate College is an individual with demonstrated ability and intellectual maturity.

Admission to the Ohio University's Graduate College as an IIP student demands, in part, that the applicant identify a minimum of two (2) emphasis areas, each in a different department, school, or program. At least one of the departments, schools, or programs must offer a graduate degree at the degree level sought (i.e., master’s level for a master’s student, doctoral level for a Ph.D. student). The other department, school, or program involved in the student’s IIP must, at the very least, offer graduate level coursework and ideally should be a graduate degree granting program.

Master’s students at Individual Interdisciplinary Program must complete at least 36 semester credits beyond the bachelor’s degree, including four (4) courses (12 credit hours) in each emphasis area. At least two of these courses (6 credit hours) must provide depth of knowledge in the field and at least two of these courses (6 credit hours) must provide breadth of knowledge. In addition, the student must complete a final project (thesis, performance, etc.) acceptable to the student’s Guidance Committee.

The procedural rules for degree completion from the student’s primary academic support unit will determine whether there is a non-thesis option (e.g., comprehensive examination option) for completing the master’s degree. The graduate chairs in the respective emphasis areas/disciplines will determine which courses provide depth of knowledge and which provide breadth of knowledge.
