was developed as part of theNRT requirements in the 2019-2020 academic year and has been taught every fall semester since2019. The course objectives are to enhance graduate students’ systems thinking competency andestablish a knowledge base that students build upon through the educational and experimentalpillars of the NRT at our university. These pillars include field experiences in Southwest Kansas,policy experiences at the state capital, course work, and a subsequent 2-credit capstone, project-based course.This paper aims to describe the experience gained from the NRT Integrated FEW Systems course,which may be beneficial in the implementation of a systems thinking course at the graduate levelin other four-year institutions.

For example, one of the main priorities graduatestudents discussed as in conflict to their interdisciplinary scholar identity development is theexpectation to have publications in certain disciplinary-acclaimed journals and to specifically bethe first author on those publications. In 2020, Student A said, So I was thinking about the IR program, and I think it is a little bit hard to be motivated, because PhD students need to be the first author of their dissertation. And everyone is PhD student so … their priority cannot be that interdisciplinary project. And I get also faculty have similar feeling, because
