David, Many thanks! Sounds like a good place to start... Was looking up their pages- they seem to have 3 separate PhD tracks - Core, Interdisciplinary, and Departmental (focusing on just one department)- which make it sound quite interesting...Good to know of Melanie Mitchell's involvement as well...
Thanks again!
