Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior - PhD

The graduate program for the student in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior varies with the department in which he or she is enrolled. Because EEBB is a dual-degree program students must also be accepted into a home department.

Specific curriculum details can be obtained from the graduate office of each department.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM

Doctoral and Masters degree programs are planned on an individual basis by the student, the thesis adviser, and the guidance committee of two to three members for the Master's program and four to five members for the Ph.D. program. These guidance committees must have two members from the Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior Program (EEBB) for Ph.D. candidates and one member from EEBB for Master's candidates. The committee assists the student in designing an appropriate program of course work and research leading to the preparation of a thesis that presents the results of original research. Formal training is supplemented by a broad spectrum of seminars and colloquia sponsored by the EEBB program and participating departments.
