interdisciplinary graduate stem education and outreach initiatives

Arizona State University’s Interdisciplinary Graduate STEM Education Initiatives are designed to facilitate interdisciplinary research and training opportunities for doctoral students that transcend traditional disciplinary perspectives and that promote collaborations across colleges, units and affiliated organizations. Such interdisciplinary collaborative programs and degrees create the novel learning and discovery opportunities that are needed to train our future workforce and leaders.
