Sustained Change: Institutionalizing Interdisciplinary Graduate Education
Borrego, Maura; Boden, Daniel; Newswander, Lynita K.
Journal of Higher Education, v85 n6 p858-885 Nov-Dec 2014

Using document analysis and case study approaches, we illustrate how strategies which address both policies and cultural norms are most successful.
