Overview

Under this program, first and second-year doctoral students have the unique opportunity to design a customized interdisciplinary PhD curriculum that they will pursue over the remaining years of their doctoral study.

Features

This Humanistic Studies program from Johns Hopkins University provides an avenue to pursue training and research that might not be easily carried out within the ambit of an established PhD program, and that stands to produce novel interdisciplinary research results and innovative curricula that impact two (or more) fields at once.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

IHS students work with faculty advisors from two different PhD fields, combining the methods, resources, and requirements of the two fields to develop and carry out their specific interdisciplinary course of study and research.

At least one of these fields must be in the humanities or humanistic social sciences.

To be eligible to apply, students must be currently enrolled in their first or second year of doctoral study at Johns Hopkins in a humanities or humanistic social sciences discipline.

Accepted students officially enter the IHS program at the beginning of the following year, and from that point onward they follow their self-designed course of research and study.
