The Individual Interdisciplinary Studies master's program, administered by the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Graduate Studies, lets students with a strong academic record design a customized program that integrates substantial elements from two to four departments, outside the boundaries of established degree programs. Before admission, applicants must assemble an advisory committee spanning the relevant departments and formulate a research proposal, and eligibility requirements are more stringent than for discipline-based programs. Students complete a minimum of 12 credit hours of coursework at the 7000 level, including two required graduate-studies courses taken in the first term and first year respectively, then complete a master's thesis; no practicum option is available. Full-time students typically complete the program in two years. The program suits students whose research interests span multiple disciplines not served by an existing department-based program.
