Collaborative Programs

Graduate students (both MSc and PhD) in RSI may participate in a number of collaborative programs.

Students who register in a collaborative program are required to complete the requirements of both RSI and the Collaborative Program. The requirements for the Collaborative Program vary by program, but usually require completion of specific courses, attendance at a seminar series hosted by the Collaborative Program, and a thesis committee with representatives from both RSI and the Collaborative Program. When these requirements have been completed, students will obtain a specialization designation from the SGS upon completion of their degree.

Students interested in registering in any of the following collaborative programs, should contact the graduate administrator of the collaborative program for further details:
