Diversity Programs - Prospective Graduate Students

Home » Diversity Programs » Diversity Programs - Prospective Graduate Students

There are many doors to open at Stanford – discovery, innovation, collaboration, and diversity of people and ideas. This spectrum is embodied by graduate students, professionals, and researchers. The journey toward academic achievement is shared by students in different disciplines, from a spectrum of cultures, races, ethnicities, work and life experiences, skills, interests, and perspectives. We want to assist you on your path to becoming the researchers and teachers who will contribute to scholarship. The door is open.  We invite you to join us.

Interdisciplinary Research
Stanford has a strong focus on collaborative, interdisciplinary research that crosses boundaries between departments. The "thin walls" between academic disciplines encourages creativity and innovation. While you should apply to the department most closely related to your field of study, you may join one of the many interdisciplinary programs that include scholars from across the campus investigating related topics. For example, the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity includes scholars from History, Psychology, Law, Engineering and many other fields of study.
