Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Sciences - Geosciences

The Doctor of Philosophy degree program in Environmental Sciences offers concentrations in biology, chemistry, agriculture, geosciences, and integrated research but emphasizes the solution of complex environmental problems using an interdisciplinary approach. Course work is required in biology, chemistry, geology, agriculture, and sociology. This interdisciplinary approach insures that students become aware of a wide range of environmental concerns and that their research includes a breadth of environmental understanding beyond the boundaries of a particular discipline. The goal of the program is to prepare students for careers in research, management, government service, teaching, and other areas where they can make productive contributions to the solution of environmental problems.

GRE: a score of at least 300 on the verbal and quantitative portions of the GRE, as well as at least a 3.5 on the analytical writing portion program.
