Program Description
The program is committed to providing a rigorous interdisciplinary teaching and research environment, which nurtures scholarly and creative activity. Such endeavours aim to investigate the past as well as influence the ways in which reflection and creation contribute to the further unfolding of society and culture. Students pursuing Brock University’s Doctoral program in Interdisciplinary Humanities will have the opportunity to collaborate across disciplines.
Admission Requirements
Successful completion of a Master’s degree in a humanities or cognate discipline, normally with a minimum average grade of 80%, and an agreement from a faculty member to supervise the student. Applicants are required to include: a statement of intent, a sample of scholarly writing, and a current CV.
Applicants required to demonstrate English language proficiency must meet the standard minimum requirements established for graduate-level study.

Degree Requirements
Total credits: 4.0 In lieu of a standard PhD thesis, there are four capstone pathway options available to students: dissertation, suite, research-creation, and thesis by project. This should reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the degree. Students will be required to demonstrate reading competency in one language other than English by means of a written examination, and must also complete written and oral comprehensive examinations in the general and specific fields. Students may take a maximum of one half-credit course elective outside of HUMA, unless otherwise authorized by the GPD.
