The Governance and Globalization Track within the Ph.D. in Planning, Governance, and Globalization (PGG-GG) draws together insights from the social sciences and humanities in order to study governance processes at all levels of society and international affairs. The PGG-GG track offers a unique environment in which faculty advisers and students work closely together. Students build from interdisciplinary perspectives to leverage their professional experiences when exploring scholarly puzzles. Each doctoral student must complete a minimum of 90 semester hours of graduate study and a dissertation. All students are required to fulfill the requirements for their track or specialization and those of the Graduate School. The curriculum of this doctoral program will follow a flexible research-based program by requiring a small core of courses and by offering two major tracks, as well as thematic areas under each track.
