PhD in Sustainable Development options

[as4300]

Hi all,

 

I am eyeing for PhD in Sustainable Development. It will be for the Fall 2016, so I am collecting some options. So far, I found two programs that I am interested in applying.

 

(1) PhD in Sustainable Development, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University

The core curriculum consists of around 10 core courses, plus two social science electives, and a coherent sequence of four natural science courses for a minimum total of 60 credits. In addition to course work, students participate in integrative seminars throughout the first three years of the program, and complete the MA thesis and take an Orals Exam (leading to the MPhil Degree), in addition to presenting and defending a PhD dissertation. Students have to fulfill a teaching and research requirement, entails six semesters of work as a teaching assistant (TA) or a research assistant (RA). A maximum of six students will be admitted every year.

Thanks!
