A Transdisciplinary Focus Claremont Graduate University is the only research-intensive university in the nation devoted entirely to graduate-level liberal arts education. CGU conducts instruction and research in small classes, seminars, and in the field. The University encourages close scholarly relationships between students and faculty. Recognizing that many contemporary problems require contributions across multiple disciplines, CGU was an early adopter of transdisciplinary education and research. At CGU, transdisciplinarity is defined as working around a complex problem important to society, inclusion of diverse stakeholders working together, and re-framing a resolution of that problem.
