A graduate interdisciplinary specialization (GIS) involves two or more graduate programs outside the student's home program.  This additional expertise enhances your graduate degree and provides further career opportunities. The completion of a graduate minor, GIS, or certificate program is noted on the your final transcript.

Graduate students in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences may elect to add any specialization or certificate but historically many of our students have chosen the Global Health or College/University Teaching specializations.  For additional details regarding the Global Health Interdisciplinary Specialization contact Dr. Anne Kloos.
