Odum School of Ecology
- Interdisciplinary Disease Ecology Across Scales
Graduate studies at the Odum School of Ecology provide students with an interdisciplinary program that allows them to develop a broad background in ecology and related disciplines while providing rigorous theoretical and methodological training in ecology. Students work with faculty to become independent thinkers, researchers and decision-makers.
The Ph.D. program provides a scholarly setting within which a course of study can be designed to fit the individual goals of students.
Three core courses are required for the Ph.D. program: ECOL 8000 (Topics in Modern Ecology), ECOL 8310 (Population Ecology), and ECOL 8322 (Ecosystem Concepts). Students may also take additional course work in organismal and community ecology.
Ecology Ph.D. students are trained to become independent thinkers with the skills and depth of disciplinary understanding to lead their own research programs.
Ecology Ph.D. students work with faculty mentors to design a course of study that provides rigorous theoretical and methodological training while addressing fundamental questions in basic and/or applied ecology. Major emphasis is on dissertation research, with flexibility to pursue coursework in ecology and related disciplines.
