Fellows select a complementary discipline in addition to their degree-granting field.
Fellows participate in team research, courses, and seminars that emphasize integration among disciplines. The program will also welcome fellows who choose to specialize in comparative case studies. Dissertations will be integrative and multidisciplinary and include a substantial collaborative component. Collectively, these activities will afford skills that should be broadly applicable to careers in public and private sectors and in academia. In the ensuing years, every effort will be made to support fellows via departmental teaching assistantships, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences teaching assistantships, CAP LTER research assistantships, and internships in the public or private sectors.
