Features
- PhD students will also establish an area of disciplinary expertise through the combination of their course electives, the pedagogy lab, and the Secondary Area (SA), which is an opportunity to develop disciplinary expertise (particularly useful for those who seek academic employment), breadth, and pedagogical design experience, as well as to extend the particular vocabulary and research focus of Critical Studies in Improvisation in relation to other disciplinary engagements.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Through this program, students will acquire crucial transferable skills with broad relevance and application across a range of fields.

Other requirements
General requirements
- Applicants to the PhD should hold a four-year Bachelor’s degree or equivalent with a minimum GPA of 75%, in a field related to your proposed study. Applicants to the PhD program may enter directly from an honours BA or already hold a Master’s degree.
- IICSI and the interdisciplinary IMPR program have as an underlying pedagogical principle the desire to recognize ability and expertise beyond traditional degree formats.
- Therefore, in special circumstances, the program will follow established university policies for alternative admissions.
- Because Critical Studies in Improvisation is an interdisciplinary program that includes significant attention to practitioners and community-facing work, more expansive requirements for prospective students exist to facilitate admission of strong candidates without a bachelor’s degree or with a degree in a field not directly related to Critical Studies in Improvisation or with exceptional practitioner experience.
