Fart_of_War Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 A question: has any of you guys heard of individually tailored joint PhD programs where a student participates in more than two departments across the humanities and social sciences? It is common to have a degree jointly offered by two departments (philosophy+classics; anthropology+divinity, etc.), but what about three? Is it possible? Does it make practical sense in terms of finding employment? A few hypothetical examples: A student interested in comparing Ancient Greek and Mesopotamian literatures participating in the departments of Classics, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and Comparative Literature. A student interested in Indo-Iranian historical linguistics participating in the departments of Linguistics, South Asian Languages and Civilizations, and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations.

frenchphd Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yes. There are PhD programs in political philosophy and medieval literature, which draw from multiple departments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
