Overview

By engaging multiple disciplinary approaches to a selected problem, students of the Multidisciplinary Research and Creativity program at University of Minnesota develop their capacity to identify, delineate, and research key problems, building an empowered learning approach to their own professionalization.

What you'll study

With a "Plan B" project-based structure, the Multidisciplinary Research & Creativity program consists of three core courses (12 credits) and 18 credits of coursework (for a total of 30 credits) across disciplines, along with a Plan B capstone project and oral exam. Earning the degree of MPS, students join a cadre of students nationally and internationally who seek applied, interdisciplinary graduate study to develop and enhance their professionalization.

Students assemble a degree program in consultation with their advisors. Unlike traditional graduate programs which focus on a single discipline, the MPS program allows you to choose from a wide range of elective subjects that expand your intellectual, creative, and professional horizons. Examples of this multidisciplinary approach include (but are not limited to) emphases in the following areas:

Media Studies
Global Indigenous Studies
Justice Studies
Sustainability Studies
Medical Humanities
The History of Ideas

Courses include:

Theories, Methods and Applications of Graduate Study
