A graduate program that provides an additional multidisciplinary experience for students enrolled in and completing the degree requirements for one of a number of approved programs. Students meet the admission requirements of and register in the participating (or “home”) program but complete, in addition to the degree requirements of that program, the additional requirements specified by the collaborative program. The degree conferred is that of the home program and the completion of the collaborative program is indicated by a transcript notation indicating the additional specialization that has been attained. It is an intra-university type of degree program.
