yinz_guys Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I would like to have environmental politics as third concentration depending where I end up. Where are you applying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatcoat Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Maryland (polisci), Duke (Nicholas School), and UF (polisci and NSF IGERT fellowship). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradHappy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 With regard to environmental politics, I hear very good things about Colorado State. Anyone else apply there? What do you guys think are the top EP programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatcoat Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 I was considering Colorado State but in the end decided they did not have enough of an international focus - I'm IR. With EP it's a mix between the polisci/policy programs and the environmental sciences/studies programs. I looked into both, and have applied to both. But they're ranked separately. I've seen rankings of environment programs, but none of polisci programs with an environmental focus. I chose one of my schools because there is a lot of environmental expertise in my area of interest in other disciplines, and they offer an interdisciplinary program that will allow me to take advantage of this.

GradHappy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm Comparative, so I understand what you mean about looking for an international focus. If you don't mind me asking, who do you envision yourself working with at UF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatcoat Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 There are a few people in the polisci department - it has a focus on environmental politics, among other things. Don't want to go too much into detail on a public forum, but PM me if you want. You applying there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polanyiwaswrong Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Colorado State is certainly the place to be for environmental politics. I'm just finishing the MA here- with IR as other focus. Applied to Univ of Colorado and Univ of Oregon for PhD, but might just end up staying at Colorado State. We've got a great IR faculty, known for their contributions in the IEP lit. The other two schools have environmental studies programs I would hope to utilize. You can study environmental politics in departments without that specialty... committee members willing.

Awww, flatcoat, it's not either-or. You could've gone with geography and had both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
