You must meet both the general and the discipline-specific criteria for admission and be recommended for admission by the doctoral faculty review group in at least a primary discipline (some primary disciplines require a co-discipline admission simultaneously). If you are admitted to a primary discipline only, you must choose and activate a co-discipline by the end of the first semester.
