      1. Students will take a minimum of 6 credits at the 500 or 800 level of interdisciplinary cognate courses. Cognate courses must be complementary to a student’s chosen dissertation research area. Interdisciplinary cognate courses play a crucial role in helping this Ph.D. program achieve its objective of offering an interdisciplinary education. Advisers will also be responsible for determining whether a given course contains sufficient complementary content and prepares the students for their chosen dissertation topic to qualify as a cognate course.
