WSU's Center for Multiphase
Environmental Research is a grant recipient of the National
Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Graduate Education and
Research Training (IGERT) Program. NSF created the IGERT
program in order to address the ever-growing need for
broadly prepared professional scientists and engineers with
multidisciplinary backgrounds and the technical,
professional, and personal skills necessary to meet the
varied career demands of the future.
Through the WSU's IGERT
program, professional scientists and engineers are produced
who have a strong desire to work with experts in other
disciplines, are well-trained for either industrial or
academic careers, and are able to span cultural and national
barriers. Graduate students who participate in the program
become professionals who are poised to lead the development
of scientific and engineering solutions to global
environmental problems. Graduate trainees accepted into the
IGERT program obtain a degree in one of eight departmental
Ph.D. programs. Because of the many cross-affiliations among
the training faculty, trainees have opportunities to choose
from among the degree programs or switch from one to another
as desired, dependent upon specific degree
requirements.
