Ringkasan program

This course Doctoral Degree Program in Environmental and Earth Sciences provides students with the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills to conduct independent research in Environmental and Earth Sciences. Dissertation research is the heart of the Doctoral Program, and it is supported carefully selected coursework and development of competency in specific research skills. The student's program of coursework is designed in consultation with a faculty advisor and faculty committee to support the student‘s dissertation research, taking into account their previous background and the need for interdisciplinary training to solve environmental problems. If they have not already done so in their previous work, all Doctoral students must take two engineering courses; two or three science courses (two if their prior training is in science, three if in engineering or another non-science field); and one course in policy or planning. In addition to their primary area of emphasis, the discipline in which dissertation research is conducted, courses are assigned in a secondary area of emphasis to provide interdisciplinary training. Also, by taking courses, passing examinations, or other means, Doctoral students must demonstrate proficiency in a research tool such as statistical data analysis, mathematical modeling, computer programming, or operations research.
