Overview
A Ph.D. in Environmental Design and Planning at University of Georgia prepares individuals to work in a range of settings, including universities, governmental agencies at various levels (counties and cities, regional and state, and federal agencies), private consulting, research and development firms, and non-profit organizations.
Features
- The program enables students to develop interdisciplinary skills in order to expand on knowledge gained from other disciplines linked to ecology, environmental science, history, sociology, environmental engineering, disaster management, and other fields to solve current social needs in such areas as public health, climate change, sustainability, and resilient communities.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The Ph.D. in Environmental Design and Planning can generally be completed in three years.
- Beyond the core courses, each student will design a program of other courses reflecting their specific research interests, largely from other UGA program offerings, in consultation with a faculty advisor.
- Doctoral students may also participate in existing CED master’s-level seminars, and through this engagement enhance the interdisciplinary experience for students in CED’s professional programs.
- As students transition into their own areas of research, it is expected that they will engage in applied scholarship/research projects with CED and other UGA faculty in areas of interest for both students and faculty.
- The requirement for the Ph.D. includes successful completion of all required course work and an approved dissertation.
