The Population Dynamics Option (PDO) is a cross-disciplinary, cross-faculty graduate program offered by the Centre on Population Dynamics (CPD) as an option within existing master’s and doctoral programs in the Departments of Sociology, Economics, and Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health (EBOH) at McGill University. Students who have been admitted through their home department or faculty may apply for admission to the option. The option is coordinated by the CPD, in partnership with participating academic units.
With interdisciplinary research being increasingly important to understanding complex social and biological processes, CPD student trainees benefit from both a strong disciplinary foundation from their departmental affiliations, as well as from the sharing of knowledge across disciplinary boundaries through CPD activities.
人口动态方向(PDO)是由人口动态中心(CPD)提供的跨学科、跨院系的研究生项目，是麦吉尔大学的社会学、经济学、流行病学、生物统计学和职业健康(EBOH)的现有硕士和博士项目中的一个方向。经内政部或院系录取的学生，可以申请该方向的学习。该方向由CPD协调，与参与的学术单位合作。随着跨学科的研究对于理解复杂的社会和生物过程越来越重要，CPD的学生培训生将受益于他们的部门附属机构的强大学科基础，以及通过CPD活动实现的跨学科界限的知识共享。
