The Collaborative Graduate Program in Migration and Ethnic Relations at The University of Western Ontario brings together graduate students and faculty to study questions of migration, ethnic relations, cultural diversity, conflict, acculturation and the integration of migrants, from the perspective of various social science disciplines. The collaborative experience for students is an add-on to existing well-established graduate programs in Anthropology, Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. Students register in and meet the requirements of one of the collaborating discipline-specific graduate programs, as well as having the opportunity to participate in the program in Migration and Ethnic Relations. The combination of solid disciplinary training with advanced interdisciplinary training provides students with the tools necessary to better understand and conduct research in the area of Migration and Ethnic Relations, and to have the skills required for positions post-graduation in a variety of settings.
