Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs Advisory Council (GIDPAC)

Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs (GIDPs) at the University of Arizona provide students with outstanding educational and research opportunities and faculty mentorship, in areas requiring the integration of knowledge and ideas spanning many different disciplines. Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs Advisory Council (GIDPAC) membership consists of one executive committee member from each of the GIDPs and serves as the college-level committee for all GIDP curriculum and new program proposals, program closures, admissions hiatus, program transfers, and program reorganizations. GIDPAC is responsible for evaluating such actions and providing their recommendations to the Dean of the Graduate College and Faculty Director.
