The IHUM program awards a dual doctoral degree, accepting applications during the third academic year from PhD candidates enrolled in these participating departments and schools: Anthropology, Architecture, Art and Archaeology, Classics, Comparative Literature, East Asian Studies, English, French and Italian, German, History, Music, Near Eastern Studies, Philosophy, Political Philosophy in Politics, Religion, Slavic Languages and Literatures, Sociology, and Spanish and Portuguese. Anthropology and Sociology students may apply as early as their second year. Program participants become integral members of an interdisciplinary research community, engaging in seminars, workshops, and various academic events. They benefit from an extra year of fellowship funding to pursue research extending beyond their primary discipline, ultimately earning a joint degree from both their home department and the Council of the Humanities.

Qualification Requirements
All official Transcripts. A bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent from an accredited college or university. Official transcripts of your grades.
Three letters of recommendation. Applicants are required to upload a transcript (may be unofficial at this time) including the key from all attended colleges or universities.
The transcript must show the name of the student, name of the issuing institution, name of courses taken, and the grades received in those courses.
The Graduate School does not have a minimum TOEFL or IELTS score requirement. If you are offered admission and accept our offer and have scored below a 27 on the Speaking sub-section of the TOEFL iBT or below an 8.0 on the Speaking sub-section of the IELTS you will be required to take an English placement test at the start of the fall term. Students who do not pass the test will be required to enroll in English Language Program classes.
The application should consist of the following elements:
A completed application form, signed by your departmental Director of Graduate Studies.
A five-hundred-word description of your interdisciplinary interests as they bear on your prospective dissertation work: in particular, the research or experience, outside of your departmental training, that would warrant an additional year of support. The overriding criteria are intellectual seriousness and adventurousness.
A twenty-page, double-spaced writing sample representative of your interests.
