Some Common Elements Advanced understanding of processes Course work in related areas Field and laboratory methods Modeling techniques Exposure to primary literature Communication skills

Critical Issues for Graduate Education How to maintain a critical mass How to build and strengthen opportunities for interdisciplinary training

Some Approaches to Maintaining Critical Mass Concentrate faculty expertise in a limited number of areas Endowed faculty positions Find additional sources of research funding Find additional sources of student funding (fellowships, training grants)

Some Current Constraints on Interdisciplinary Training University structure that concentrates resources and rewards for faculty in traditional departments Assumption that interdisciplinary training can be accomplished by simply combining expertise of existing faculty Insufficient infrastructure to provide students with funding or a “home” within the university
