Doctoral Students
Applications Due: Friday, April 26, 2024
The IIT Fellowship Program is for doctoral students with an interest in interdisciplinary inquiry and undergraduate teaching. The program welcomes applicants from all colleges whose teaching areas are relevant to a college of public affairs.
The primary goal of the IIT Fellowship Program is to broaden and enrich the professional development experience of a diverse group of graduate students by placing them within an environment, James Madison College, with an established tradition in excellence in undergraduate, interdisciplinary teaching and scholarship.
Students selected for this full-year program will engage with one another and with JMC faculty in structured discussions on pedagogy and practice, course design and curriculum development. In addition, fellows will have an opportunity to investigate questions concerning the intellectual coherence and viability of interdisciplinary teaching and learning. In this latter work, they will have opportunities for general interactions with JMC undergraduates. Fellows will be encouraged to integrate their IIT Fellowship work with the University Graduate Certification in College Teaching.
