PhD programmes in Environmental Sciences in North America

The study of the Natural Resources - Natural Resources Studies program from University of Arizona includes all the biological and physical processes of ecosystems - knowledge needed for sustainable use of rangelands as well as management of the diverse and complex systems that they support. 

The Environmental Health Sciences program from University of Arizona is offered by the Division of Community, Environment, and Policy. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Environmental Health Sciences examines the critical link between environmental and occupational exposures and human health.

The Environmental Engineering program from University of Arizona is one of the top ranked graduate engineering programs at UA, and highly ranked nationally. 

The Entomology and Insect Science program from University of Arizona thus bridges the gap between basic research, using insects as models to address general biological questions, and applied research affecting humankind more directly. 

The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program from University of Arizona provides research training in ecology and evolutionary biology with areas of strength in biological diversity, evolutionary history and mechanisms, community structure, ecological interactions, behavior, development and mathematical biology.

The Natural Resources Studies program from University of Arizona is intended to provide an interdisciplinary graduate education for individuals who wish to contribute to natural resource policy and management decisions made in an environment increasingly influenced not only by technical elements, but by economic, legal, political, and social factors. 

The Atmospheric Sciences degree from University of Arizona is primarily a research degree. The candidate must complete at least 36 units of graduate course credit in the major field, including a core of 6 units of dynamic meteorology and 6 units of physical meteorology. 

With the Environmental Science program from University of Arizona, students will be prepared for careers in business and industry, governmental agencies, educational institutions, and private consulting firms. Many Ph.D. students obtain faculty positions at colleges and universities.

The Earth, Environment and Society doctoral program at Portland State University is a collaborative degree, primarily drawing students from the disciplines of environmental science and management, geography and geology.

We train graduate students and young scientists to be leaders in the atmospheric sciences and related fields on the Atmospheric Sciences program from University of Miami.  

The Environmental Science graduate program at the The Ohio State University cuts across traditional academic disciplines and colleges to provide sound and effective graduate education and research on these important environmental issues.

Political Science - Environmental Politics and Policy Specialization from Colorado State University places special emphasis on the study of Environmental Politics and Policy. 

A Ph.D. degree in Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) at The University of Iowa is an advanced research degree that emphasizes depth of knowledge and original research skills. 

The nature of graduate research in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences from McGill University is highly variable. 

In the Earth Sciences and Environmental Sustainability program of the Northern Arizona University, you'll join a new generation of leaders, scientists, and engineers who will be uniquely trained to tackle these pressing problems.

Ecosystem Sustainability from Colorado State University investigates the intricate physical, chemical, human, and biological interactions driving ecosystems.   

Environmental Science, Policy, and Management from University of California, Berkeley consists of four interrelated components: disciplinary emphasis, an area of specialization, research methods, and breadth requirement.

The Doctor of Philosophy with a major in plant, soil and environmental sciences and concentrations in crop sciences, horticulture, plant breeding, plant molecular genetics, and weed science is offered under a multi-departmental doctoral program.  The Plant, Soil, and Environmental Sciences program is offered by the University of Tennessee Knoxville.

Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies from University of California, Berkeley is a new program of training in the social studies of science, technology, and medicine for Berkeley PhD students from any home department. Students who are accepted into the program, and who complete its requirements, will be in a strong position to excel within STS-related fields.

Our Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences program at McGill University applies mathematics, physics, computing, and sometimes chemistry to study the atmosphere and/or oceans.
