Interdisciplinary programs can be designed to gain experience in more than one professional field. Candidates will apply by submitting a letter of application and a resume. They will be interviewed and evaluated for acceptance into the program. The availability of opportunities in the individual disciplines will vary according to staffing levels and workloads in the park. Stipends from the park are usually not available in this program.
