Students admitted to our program work with their research mentor to select courses, individualize their training, and conduct research projects that meet their interests and goals. Our core graduate courses provide an introduction to the wide breadth and deep expertise of research on the environment within our department and help students apply for funding opportunities early in their graduate program.
The PhD program is the main graduate program in ESPM for students entering with or without previous masters degrees, though we also offer limited numbers of MS degrees in our specialized Master of Range Management and Master of Forestry programs.
The goal of the program is to provide both a strong disciplinary education and broadly based experience in cross-disciplinary communication and problem solving. To achieve this, the program leading to the PhD in environmental science, policy, and management requires that students complete three core courses and take additional coursework in the following three areas: area of specialization, research skills, and experiential breadth.
The disciplinary emphasis is the broadest academic area encompassing the student's interests. The Social Sciences Concentration is also very popular and offers the most flexibility for completing lower division science requirements.
This concentration is a good fit for students interested in the economic, political, and sociological aspects of environmental topics. Students with a strong interest in math, physics, and engineering typically choose this concentration.
The upper-division ES courses blend core requirements with a great deal of flexibility and allows students to tailor their coursework to their own research interests. Students choose two electives , courses in modeling and social sciences, and also complete a sequence of courses focused on preparing students to engage in research.
In this course, Intro to Research Methods of Environmental Science, students learn fundamental tools and frameworks for engaging in research and create a proposal for their senior thesis. This creates a chain of four classes beginning in fall of the junior year. Students who plan to study abroad or otherwise not continuously enroll at Berkeley for their junior and senior years should talk to the ES advisor about planning options.
The thesis experience is the capstone of the major where students have the opportunity to investigate an environmental problem or issue of their own choosing. All committee members should be UC Academic Senate. The Guiding Professor may attend the exam but may not serve on the committee or participate in its deliberations.
The student is expected to demonstrate a broad knowledge in the program of study. In-depth questions will test the student's ability to integrate the various elements of the program.
The qualifying exam is usually three hours in length. Students are expected to complete all work necessary for formal advancement to candidacy within three months after the completion of the Qualifying Examination. A dissertation title and proposed committee must be submitted for approval at the time of advancement to candidacy. In consultation with the Guiding Professor, the student will select a dissertation title and identify at least two additional dissertation committee members.
Obtain the necessary signatures and bring the form to the Student Affairs Office. The form should be filed no later than the beginning of the semester following the one in which the student passed the qualifying examination. Once a student has formally advanced to candidacy by the Graduate Division, the department is sent an individualized Final Report form. We certify on this report that all coursework for the degree, besides the filing of the dissertation has been completed by the student.
This report is signed and returned to the Graduate Division and a copy is kept in the student file.
